National Forest a day before. Texas, January 23, 2023On a fallen oak in the Sam Houston National Forest, Texas, I discovered pinkish fungus Hypomyces samuelsii(?) spores growing on mature caps of polypore mushrooms Daedaleopsis. This was on January 23, 2023. The spores were observed in lugol, displaying a distinct pinkish hue. – generated by AI The image shows microscopic spores, viewed under a microscope with Lugol's solution, of an unidentified pinkish fungus, possibly Hypomyces samuelsii, growing on mature caps of Daedaleopsis mushrooms. The spores are shaped like elongated teardrops and have a reddish-pink color. They appear to be grouped in pairs, with some single and isolated spores also visible. The image has been taken at 1000x magnification, allowing for detailed observation of the spore's shape, size, and coloration. The background appears to be a microscope slide or petri dish, providing a clear view of the spores without any external distractions. Overall, the image provides valuable information about the microscopic characteristics of this fungus, which can aid in its identification and further study. – AI vision |
