Basidiospores: Tiny, intricately structured reproductive bodies of basidiomycete fungi, including rust fungi, mushrooms, and other types. SEM C016 / 9450 reveals the complex surface topography of Field Mushroom basidiospores, while light micrographs unveil the unique structures of Corn Smut infection, Earth Ball Fungus, Boletus Fungus, and various Mushroom gill caps and gills. These microscopic wonders play a crucial role in the fungal life cycle, enabling them to spread and infect new substrates, from trees to soil and agricultural crops.
