A somewhat more uncommon find here in western Norway

Two days ago I found a nice Phellodon niger, also known as black tooth. After making a spore print I thought the specimen didn't yield any, because I could hardly make them out. Turns out they are just tiny: 3-5µm! After cranking up the magnification I got a nice picture of them, too.

I'm not really familiar with this, but can you share the spore print? Seems like it would be cool to see.

It's in the original mastodon post: https://mastodon.social/@setnorth/110895103650221119 Apparently it's only partly federated to Lemmy?

Interesting, I could only see the cover photo. I don't see any way to expand an album or view the others. Thanks for the link.
