On April 28, 2023, a dark-brown spore print of the mushroom Agaricus auricolor was collected from Forest Service Road 231 near Pole Creek in Sam Houston National Forest, Texas, during a hike on the Lone Star Hiking Trail. The spores were found in KOH solution, indicating the presence of this species in the area. – generated by AI

The image shows a microscopic view of spores from an Agaricus auricolor mushroom.

* The spores are clustered together in a random pattern on a white background.
* They appear to be oval or elliptical in shape and have smooth surfaces.
* The edges of the spores are slightly darker than their centers, suggesting they may have been stained with a KOH solution during preparation for microscopy.
* There is no visible evidence of any other cellular structures within the image, such as hyphae or cap tissue.
* This suggests that the sample was prepared using a method that only preserves spores and not other components of the mushroom.

Overall, the image provides a detailed view of the morphology of Agaricus auricolor spores at the microscopic level. – AI vision
