Rust fungus infection, SEM
Rust fungus infection. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of spore-bearing aecia from a rust (Puccinia lagenophora) fungus, on a common groundsel (Senecio vulgaris) plant. Spores are the reproductive structures of a fungus. Magnification: x3300 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of rust fungus infection. Captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), this coloured micrograph reveals spore-bearing aecia from a Puccinia lagenophora fungus, which has invaded and infected a common groundsel plant (Senecio vulgaris). Fascinatingly, the spores depicted here are the reproductive structures of the fungus, responsible for its continued existence and spread. With an impressive magnification of x3300 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, this image allows us to appreciate every minute detail of this biological phenomenon. The vibrant colours in this photograph emphasize the beauty that can be found even within microscopic organisms. The contrasting hues draw attention to the delicate structures and highlight their significance in fungal reproduction. Through images like these, we gain insight into the complex world of mycology and better understand how fungi interact with their environment. This particular micrograph provides valuable information about basidiospores, basidia, and other reproductive parts of basidiomycete fungi. Steve Gschmeissner's skillful capture not only serves as a visual feast for our eyes but also sparks curiosity about nature's ability to adapt and survive through such intricate processes. It reminds us that even on a minuscule scale, life is full of wonderment waiting to be explored.
