Brought 25 lbs of oranges back with us and for some reason quite a few 
got moldy this time.? So, out come the microscopes.? A few at lower 
power with the dissecting scope.

Here is a close view of the mold - 25x

The scrape a bit off and put it under the compound scope at 400x to see 
the actual spores and mycelia (sporangium?).? Rusty on my mold anatomy.? 
Just a quick water mount.
