Can’t eat all that food you panic bought? Don’t worry it won’t go to waste. When something is rotting, other living things are using that object for food. Here are fungi spore formations of Rhizopus stolonifer mold colonizing a peach photographed at 10 x magnification.

Very cool. Don't know much about macro so can't even imagine how this is done :)
Looks good but i wonder what it would have looked like at f7 or so. The interesting piece is the bulb out front that's super dark but its not the focus and so takes away some of the wonder.
I know! I wish that black bulb was in the front too. These spore heads are less than a millimetre in size so even at F7 it's not enough to get more than one in focus unless they are on the same plane which is why the bulb popped in to focus without me realising. Sometimes it's really hard to see through the microscope and I it surprises me when I get the files on to my desktop. Thanks for you comment.
