The image displays a microscopic view of spores under Lugol's solution. The spores are yellow-brown to brownish-yellow in color and appear rounded or elliptical in shape. They have no visible ornamentation.
They are dispersed throughout the field of view with some clumping, although not as densely packed as typical basidiospores. The background is white.
The provided caption suggests that these spores may belong to Hymenochaete rubiginosa (oak curtain crust fungus). However, since the image does not show any other features such as hyphae or sporocarps, it cannot be definitively identified without further information about its habitat and appearance. – AI vision
Recolectadas esporas (en solución de Lugol) del hongo Hymenochaete rubiginosa (?) dos días antes cerca del Pole Creek en el North Wilderness Trail of Little Lake Creek Wilderness en Sam Houston National Forest al norte desde Montgomery. Texas, 8 de febrero de 2023. La imagen muestra una vista microscópica de esporas bajo solución de Lugol. Las esporas son de color pardo amarillento a parduzco y tienen forma redondeada o elíptica. No presentan ornamentación visible. Se dispersan por todo el campo de visión con algún agrupamiento, aunque no tan densamente empaquetadas como las basidiosporas típicas. El fondo es blanco. La legenda proporcionada sugiere que estas esporas pueden pertenecer a Hymenochaete rubiginosa (hongo cortina de roble). Sin embargo, dado que la imagen no muestra otras características como hifas o esporocarpos, no puede identificarse definitivamente sin información adicional sobre su hábitat y aspecto. – Spanish translation
