Wasn’t able to get a decent photo of the spores. On average they measured 46 x 2um and even in the eyepieces it was hard to make out any details. I did get a photo of some asci with the spores coiled up inside of them. You can actually see a free floating spore in this photo, the pineneedle shaped thing to the lower left of the scale bar, upper right of the central ascus.
As a fellow cheap microscope owner, I feel ya. Thanks for sharing anyway.
I have similarly bad photos of spores from a ‘Cudonia’ spp. I found which are also thin and hard to see (Cudonia is likely going to be combined with Spathularia because they’re so close genetically).
