Potassium stroke

Applying a 10% basic solution of Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) to a #Pycnoporellusfulgens (that’s my best guess at least) Polypore. I believe it’s a brown rot fungus that grows on hardwoods and conifers (related to Fomitopsis). This is not an edible mushroom nor have I heard of it having any specific medicinal benefit..Check out the wild color change as pigments in the mushroom flesh are deprotonated by the basic solution. It looks to turn a reddish purple then eventually go blackish. Pretty neat ex

💥Some firecracker science just in time for 4th of July🎆 Reaction of potassium with water: alkali metals are extremely reactive with water. When we add a small piece of potassium to water, the metal floats on the water, moving around and fizzing. The fizzing happens because the metal reacts with the water to form hydrogen gas. As potassium is very reactive, the reaction is very vigorous and the potassium burns with a lilac flame. The hydrogen also ignites, producing sparks. The other product of
