22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Mushroom Spore with snail

In this picture I take Mushroom spores with a Snail. Mushroom spores are the reproductive organs of the mushroom. They are similar to seeds, but instead of being contained inside an outer coating, or fruit, they are released into the air as tiny dust-like particles. Each spore contains all the genetic information needed for a new mushroom to grow and reproduce. I take this natures story at my school compound with the help of torch light with back light technique. my student and some guardian are very happy to know this hidden story. In this story this Snail taking spore bath.
