Managed to confirm the id of the Cystopteris diaphana with some very nice SEM pictures done by a fellow BPS member and Edge Hull University student Kieran Heggs. #FernFriday #BritishPteridologicalSociety #sporeSunday #EdgeHillUni
Image shows a computer monitor displaying a close up of the back of a fern fronds. Pale structures (open sporangia) can be seen with tiny spores just visible on the frond surface. Grey background with a pale, very spiny spore.

Spores rising from moss. Taken in macro so as to make the spores appear like tall grass. Vibrant reds, greens, and blues.
