This is a no coverslip 250x super macro of the gill surface of the mushroom Coprinopsis variegata. The spores are still in bunches on the basidia and the protruding pleurocystidia are standing tall. The gill surface dried and shriveled a minute after the shots.

Olympus LWD CDPlan 20 on my Zeiss Universal. Stack of 6 shots illuminated from below.

Thanks in advance for your help.
