Welcome to the 65^th issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a bi-weekly curation effort by the members of the @steemstem team.

SteemSTEM aims to make Steem a better place for STEM, a task which we believe crucial for the long-term development of the blockchain. Our goals consist in invigorating and inspiring the minds of a community of STEM aficionados on Steem, targeting on the long-term the upgrade of SteemSTEM as a real platform for science communication. In the meantime, this goes through the support of quality, interesting and cutting-edge STEM content.

For more details, a recent update on the SteemSTEM project is available here. If you want to discuss with us, please do not hesitate to join the steemSTEM discord server.

### The Amateur Mycologist - Parque Oncol - Entoloma necopinatum and/or/possibly neonecopinatum - The ‘Unexpected’ Entoloma. @dber and his excellent fungi posts are here again to amaze us.

### Debunk-Tuesday – Reiki-Master 9000 An imaginative post by @egotheist debunks another “alternative” form of therapy. This time he gets Reiki under his microscope and the results are fantastic! That’s a post you’ll definitely enjoy!

For some time, the editorial team behind this distilled series is made of a one-woman-team, @ruth-girl, and she chooses her favorite posts (potentially discussing with other curators and/or the management). Posts written by the SteemSTEM team are excluded from the nomination process.

Please do not be discouraged if you did not make it on this issue. We are picking up in total 14 posts a week out of more than 200. The chances are thus low ;) In the meantime, you may wish to check these guidelines for extra tips on how your writing could be more effective.

During the last two weeks, steemstem supported with more than a (possibly split) full vote the following authors:

@abigail-dantes, @aboutcoolscience, @alexander.alexis, @artgirl, @dber, @deathbatter, @egotheist, @eurogee, @funmiakinpelu, @gra, @greenrun, @justtryme90, @kingabesh, @mobbs, @mountainwashere, @muphy, @phage93, @procrastilearner, @ruth-girl, @samminator, @sco, @teekingtv, @tsoldovieri

We are expecting them to strongly engage the community in return :)
