Under the microscope at x40 objective, the Ascomycete fungus Scutellinia nigrohirtula or S. subhirtella exhibits a fascinating structure. The fungus has short hairs that are somewhat immature and appear short-haired, with a collection from Lick Creek Park in College Station, Texas on March 7, 2023. – generated by AI

The image shows a microscopic view of fungal structures, specifically asci and paraphyses, from an Ascomycete fungus identified as *Scutellinia nigrohirtula* or possibly another related species (*S. subhirtella* with short hairs or immature *S. crinita*).

The image displays the characteristic features of these fungi under a microscope equipped with a 40x objective lens. The brownish structure on the left is likely a paraphysis, which are sterile filaments that support and protect the asci during fruiting body development. These structures can be seen growing from the center or base in an upright direction. Paraphyses typically have short hairs at their tips.

On the right side of the image, we see what appears to be two asci, with one more clearly visible than the other. Asci are sac-like structures that contain and protect the ascospores (fungal spores) produced by the fungus during its reproductive cycle. Each ascus is likely filled with several ascospores.

Given the context of the image, including the location where it was collected (Lick Creek Park in College Station, Texas), the date of collection (March 7, 2023), and the mention of the species possibly being *S. subhirtella* or immature *S. crinita*, which are all part of the *Scutellinia* genus, it is reasonable to conclude that this image indeed depicts structures from one of these Ascomycete fungi. – AI vision

Ascos y parafisas bajo un microscopio (con objetivo x40) del hongo ascomiceto Scutellinia nigrohirtula(?) o puede ser S. subhirtella con pelillos algo cortos, o Scutellinia crinita poco madura recogida en Lick Creek Park. College Station, Texas, 7 de marzo de 2023. La imagen muestra una vista microscópica de las estructuras fúngicas, específicamente ascos y parafisas, de un hongo Ascomiceto identificado como *Scutellinia nigrohirtula* o posiblemente otra especie relacionada (*S. subhirtella* con pelillos cortos o Scutellinia crinita poco madura). La imagen muestra las características distintivas de estos hongos bajo un microscopio equipado con una lente objetivo de 40x. La estructura parduzca a la izquierda es probablemente una parafisa, que son filamentos estériles que soportan y protegen los ascos durante el desarrollo del cuerpo fructífero. Estas estructuras se pueden ver crecer desde el centro o base en dirección vertical. Las parafisas tienen típicamente pelillos cortos en sus puntas. En el lado derecho de la imagen, podemos ver lo que parecen ser dos ascos, uno más visible que el otro. Los ascos son estructuras tipo saco que contienen y protegen las ascosporas (esporas fúngicas) producidas por el hongo durante su ciclo reproductivo. Cada ascus está probablemente lleno de varias ascosporas. Dado el contexto de la imagen, incluyendo el lugar donde se recogió (Lick Creek Park en College Station, Texas), la fecha de recolección (7 de marzo de 2023) y la mención de que las especies son posiblemente *S. subhirtella* o Scutellinia crinita poco madura, todas parte del género *Scutellinia*, es razonable concluir que esta imagen muestra estructuras de uno de estos hongos Ascomiceto. – Spanish translation
