Spores of white powdery corticioid fungus collected from oak trees in a dried Toad Pond in Bastrop State Park a day before. Texas

🎞️ #3333-12

The image shows a microscopic view of spores from an unidentified white powdery corticioid fungus found on oak trees near a dried Toad Pond at Bastrop State Park in Texas on January 22, 2023.

The spores are small and yellow-brown to brownish-yellow in color. They have smooth, non-ornamented walls with thickened areas that appear light and dark gray. The spore cells vary from 6 to 8 micrometers in length by width.

These features suggest the fungus belongs to the genus *Tubulicrinis*, which is characterized by its white powdery appearance and corticioid habit. However, without additional microscopic or molecular analysis, it is difficult to determine the exact species within this genus based solely on spore morphology. – AI vision
