Spores of netted crust fungus (Byssomerulius corium) collected in Lick Creek ParkWeb page of Lick Creek Park by Dept. of Biology of TAMU. College Station, Texas

🎞️ #3138-22

This image captures a microscopic view of spores from the species Byssomerulius corium, also known as netted crust fungus.

The spores are oval-shaped, elongated, and cylindrical with rounded ends. They are relatively small, measuring between 2-6 micrometers in length and approximately half that width. The spore walls appear thin and smooth to the naked eye but may have a slight ornamentation under closer inspection.

Upon initial observation, the spores display an orange coloration with a reddish tint due to their internal pigments. However, upon closer inspection using a microscope, they reveal a more complex coloring pattern:

* Their outermost layer is a light brown or tan hue.
* Beneath this lies an inner layer of a deeper orange color that gradually fades into the center.
* The deepest part of the spore contains a reddish pigment.

The background of the image appears to be white, but it's likely a microscope slide rather than actual paper. It provides a clean and neutral backdrop for observing the spores in detail.

Overall, this image presents an intriguing glimpse into the microscopic world of fungi, showcasing the unique characteristics of Byssomerulius corium spores. – AI vision

Capturas de esporas del hongo de costra enmallada (Byssomerulius corium) recogidas en Lick Creek Park. College Station, Texas, 26 de abril de 2022. Esta imagen captura una vista microscópica de las esporas de la especie Byssomerulius corium, también conocida como hongo de costra enmallada. Las esporas tienen forma ovalada, alargada y cilíndrica con extremos redondeados. Son relativamente pequeñas, midiendo entre 2-6 micrómetros de longitud y aproximadamente la mitad de anchura. Las paredes de las esporas parecen delgadas y lisas a simple vista, pero pueden tener una ligera ornamentación con inspección más detallada. Al observarlas por primera vez, las esporas presentan un color naranja debido a sus pigmentos internos. Sin embargo, al inspeccionarlas mejor con un microscopio, revelan un patrón de coloración más complejo: * Su capa más externa tiene un tono marrón claro o beige. * Debajo de esta se encuentra una capa interna de color naranja más oscuro que gradualmente desaparece hacia el centro. * La parte más profunda de la espora contiene un pigmento rojizo. El fondo de la imagen parece blanco, pero es probable que sea un portaobjetos de microscopio en lugar de papel real. Proporciona un fondo limpio y neutro para observar las esporas en detalle. En general, esta imagen ofrece una intrigante mirada al mundo microscópico de los hongos, mostrando las características únicas de las esporas de Byssomerulius corium. – Spanish translation
