Hi,
Today a put some pulp from a rotten pear under the microscope. Are these fungus spores? I have seen them in the past on other rotten samples.
TIA for your help.

Re: Fungus on Pear?
Spores are very tiny. Just a few microns across. You may be seeing some fruiting bodies but not spores. If the fungus was black, it might be what is commonly called rhizopus rot by pomologists.
