The challenge this week at
DPS was to photograph food at the dinner table. I was thinking of this as I chopped veggies for my supper, (which turned out delicious, but not photogenic) when I found that one of my tomatoes had sprouted a fungus. So I ate the supper, and photographed the tomato.
 |
| Transparent stalks, with round fruiting bodies (sporangia) at the top. |
 |
| New sporangia are transparent, becoming dark grey as they ripen. |
 |
| Zooming in |
 |
| "Young" threads, with tiny growing sporangia |
And then the tomato, mould and all, went into the compost bin. Nothing goes to waste around here.
