Mold from the stems of some flowers in a vase

#1 Post by rhiannontries » Mon Apr 19, 2021 6:17 am

This is one of the first times I have (intentionally) put mold under the microscope. This was some "fuzzy" white looking mold growing on the stem of one of the flowers in a vase + some of the water the flowers were in. I am no expert on mold, but I found the outcome pretty interesting. If anyone has the knowledge to elaborate on these images, please do so!

Nice addition to the very few fungus images posted on the forum.
The banding in the background might be prevented by changing the camera speed, I believe.
