Pilobolus fungus
Fungus sporangiophores. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of sporangiophores of a Pilobolus sp. fungus, growing on dung. A sporangiophore is a fruiting body formed on a specialised hyphal thread, at the end of which is a sporangium (dark brown). The sporangium is a sac-like container for fungal spores. When the spores are mature, the sporangium breaks, releasing the spores. The term Pilobolus means hat-thrower", referring to this spore discharge. This fungus typically grows on horse manure and other dung. Magnification: x59 at 5x7cm size."

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Pilobolus fungus, a remarkable organism that thrives on dung. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) captures the sporangiophores of this fungus in stunning detail. Sporangiophores are fruiting bodies that form on specialized hyphal threads, culminating in a sporangium at their tips. The dark brown sporangium is prominently displayed within the image, resembling a sac-like container for fungal spores. As these spores mature, the sporangium ruptures, liberating them into the surrounding environment. This explosive release of spores led to the name "Pilobolus" meaning hat-thrower. With a magnification of x59 and presented in 5x7cm size, this photograph allows us to appreciate nature's microscopic wonders up close. It offers insight into fungal growth and highlights how fungi play an essential role in ecosystems by decomposing organic matter like horse manure and other types of dung. Mycologists and nature enthusiasts alike will find themselves captivated by this mesmerizing image from Science Photo Library. Its vibrant colors and intricate details serve as a reminder of the hidden beauty found within even seemingly unremarkable subjects like fungi growing on dung.
