Album 3448: College Station, Texas, December 21, 2023

The image displays a microscopic view of spores from the fungus *Steccherinum robustius*, commonly known as the tooth mushroom. The spores are oval-shaped and yellow-brown, measuring approximately 4–6 μm in length. They appear to be uniformly sized and have a smooth surface.

A notable feature of this image is that there are no visible other elements in the image, such as background or cells around the spores. Instead, the entire field of view contains only spores. This suggests that the sample was collected from a pure culture or isolated from a single source, allowing for a clear and unobstructed view of the spores.

The spores are densely packed in the image, with many overlapping each other. This density may be due to the fact that the sample was collected at a high concentration, which is typical when collecting fungal spores. The yellow-brown color of the spores is also consistent with the expected appearance of *Steccherinum robustius* spores.

Overall, this image provides a clear and detailed view of the spores of *Steccherinum robustius*, allowing for easy identification and analysis of their morphology. – AI vision

Los esporas del hongo dental Steccherinum robustius recolectados un día antes en Lick Creek Park. College Station, Texas, diciembre de 21 de 2023. La imagen muestra una vista microscópica de los esporas del hongo *Steccherinum robustius*, comúnmente conocido como el hongo dental. Los esporas tienen forma ovalada y marrón amarillento, midiendo aproximadamente 4–6 um de longitud. Aparecen con un tamaño uniforme y tienen una superficie lisa. Una característica notable de esta imagen es que no hay otros elementos visibles en la imagen, como el fondo o las células alrededor de los esporas. En su lugar, todo el campo de visión contiene solo esporas. Esto sugiere que la muestra se recolectó de un cultivo puro o aislado de una única fuente, lo que permite una vista clara y despejada de los esporas. Los esporas están densamente empaquetados en la imagen, con muchos solapándose entre sí. Esta densidad puede ser debida al hecho de que la muestra se recolectó a una concentración alta, lo que es típico cuando se recolectan esporas fúngicas. El color marrón amarillento de los esporas también es consistente con la apariencia esperada de los esporas *Steccherinum robustius*. En general, esta imagen proporciona una vista clara y detallada de los esporas *Steccherinum robustius*, permitiendo la fácil identificación y análisis de su morfología. – Spanish translation
