The image shows a microscopic view of spores and basidia of the mushroom Agaricus auricolor. The spores are brown or yellowish-brown ovoid to ellipsoid shapes with smooth walls and no visible ornamentation. They have an average size of about 5–7 μm in length, 3–4 μm in width, and a rounded base.
The basidia are cylindrical to clavate shapes with four sterigmata at the apex. The basal cell is larger than the other cells and has a rounded or tapered shape. The upper two or three cells are smaller and more slender. The average size of the basidia is about 20–30 μm in length, 5–10 μm in width.
The background of the image is light tan to cream-colored, with some darker brownish-red spots scattered throughout. These spots appear to be the remnants of the mushroom's cap or gills. Overall, the image provides a detailed view of the microscopic structure of Agaricus auricolor, highlighting its unique characteristics such as its spore shape and size, as well as the morphology of its basidia. – AI vision
