Spores (in KOH, spore print olive) of a mushroom Boletus ochraceoluteus(?) collected in Bastrop State Park. Bastrop, Texas, May 17, 2024



The image presents a microscopic view of spores from the mushroom species *Boletus ochraceoluteus*, captured using potassium hydroxide (KOH) and highlighting their olive-colored print on a light gray background.

* The spores are oval-shaped, elongated, and pointed at one end.
* They have smooth surfaces with no visible pores or ridges.
* Most of the spores are oriented with their longer axes parallel to each other.

The image provides a detailed view of the microscopic features of *Boletus ochraceoluteus*, allowing for a closer examination of its morphology. The use of KOH and the olive-colored print enhance the contrast and visibility of the spores, making it easier to observe their characteristics.

Overall, the image offers valuable insights into the structure and appearance of the mushroom's reproductive structures, which can be useful for identification purposes. – AI vision
