This week's case is one I've previously shown before, but from many years ago. It's so cool looking that I thought it was worth showing again. The following object was found in a iodine-stained stool concentrate by Florida Fan. Any thoughts on what it is?

stellate trichomes?
a little hard, year ? Trochomonase???
looks like a crystal
An alga?
Something like Chrysanthemum flower?
Plant material - possibly a trichome!
Italian new fan!
Definitely a trichome! Peltate trichome in my opinion; possibly from Oleaster (olive tree).
Agree with Idzi P. It´s similar to a stellate-lepidote trichome from a leaf of Olea europaea. It prevents evapotranspiration.

I do not reallly agree with a Trichoma or Trichinosis; for me it looks more lime a parasitic infection or engulfed plant uncirculated with bacteria (?).
I have seen these but have zero clue on what they are (obviously not a human parasite or part thereof). I assume they are of plan origin.
Also agree with peltate trichome and with possible oleaster origin..Hx might be an interesting reveal
