Rhizopus, a common bread mold fungus, under a Foldscope, and it was fascinating! It reproduces when different hyphae types meet, forming tough zygospores. Using a slide, zoomed in on these structures with the Foldscope. Rhizopus is a fast-grower in Mucorales, playing a crucial role in the carbon cycle by breaking down organic matter. Fungi like Rhizopus are essential for our ecosystem!
