Album 3328: College Station, Texas, January 16, 2023

The image displays yellowish-brown spores of a thin brown crust fungus on an oak log. The background is white and appears to be a microscope slide, suggesting that the fungus was collected from Lick Creek Park in College Station, Texas, and its spores were observed under a microscope with Lugol's iodine solution.

The presence of these spores indicates that the sample likely belongs to the genus Tomentella or Hymenochaete. This is because these genera are known for producing similar types of spores. The fact that the sample was collected on an oak log further supports this identification, as both Tomentella and Hymenochaete species are commonly found growing on wood substrates.

Overall, based on the characteristics described in the caption, it appears that the image shows a microscopic view of spores from either a Tomentella or Hymenochaete fungus. – AI vision
