On February 14, 2023, a sample of corticioid fungus Tomentella was collected from an old resupinate polypore on the Stubblefield section of Lone Star hiking trail north of Trailhead No. 6 in Sam Houston National Forest, Texas. The sample was taken a day prior and may have been contaminated with spores. – generated by AI

The image appears to be a microscopic view of spores and possibly contamination from an old corticioid fungus called Tomentella, found on a resupinate polypore collected at the Stubblefield section of Lone Star hiking trail in Sam Houston National Forest, Texas.

**Spores**
The spores are oval-shaped, with dark brown or black bodies, often appearing transparent. There may be some variation in size among them, but they do not appear to be uniform in color or shape. The spores seem to range from slightly larger than 2 mm to about 3-4 mm in length.

**Contamination**
There are numerous round objects with spikes on the surface of the image that look like they could be contamination. They are also oval-shaped, but have a much darker brown, almost black color. These spores appear to be very small and irregularly shaped compared to the Tomentella spores.

**Background**
The background is white or off-white with no visible texture. It appears to be a smooth surface.

**Overall Impression**
The image suggests that the sample collected from the Lone Star hiking trail contained both Tomentella spores and some other type of contamination or debris. The presence of these other objects may indicate that the sample was exposed to environmental factors, such as dust or debris, during its time in the field. – AI vision

Las esporas (con posible contaminación) del hongo corticioide Tomentella de un poliporo resupinado viejo recolectadas un día antes en la sección Stubblefield del sendero de excursión Lone Star al norte desde el Punto de partida n.º 6 en el Bosque Nacional Sam Houston, Texas, 14 de febrero de 2023. La imagen parece ser una vista microscópica de esporas y posible contaminación de un viejo hongo corticioide llamado Tomentella, encontrado en un poliporo resupinado recolectado en la sección Stubblefield del sendero de excursión Lone Star en el Bosque Nacional Sam Houston, Texas. **Esfuerzos** Las esporas son de forma ovalada, con cuerpos marrón oscuro u oscuros, a menudo transparentes. Puede haber alguna variación en tamaño entre ellas, pero no parecen ser uniformes en color ni en forma. Los esporas parecen medir desde ligeramente mayores que 2 mm hasta aproximadamente 3-4 mm de largo. **Contaminación** Hay numerosos objetos redondos con picos en la superficie de la imagen que parecen ser contaminación. También son ovalados, pero tienen un color marrón más oscuro, casi negro. Estas esporas parecen ser muy pequeñas e irregularmente conformadas en comparación con las esporas de Tomentella. **Antecedentes** El fondo es blanco o blanquecino sin textura visible. Parece ser una superficie lisa. **Impresión general** La imagen sugiere que la muestra recolectada del sendero Lone Star contenía tanto esporas de Tomentella como algún otro tipo de contaminación o residuos. La presencia de estos otros objetos puede indicar que la muestra se expuso a factores ambientales, como polvo o residuos, durante su tiempo en el campo. – Spanish translation
