Bacteria eating platterful mushroom spores

I know this is a horribly shaky video, but considering it was filmed with an iPad I think it works to get the point across. The bacteria are the VERY little clear orbs bouncing rapidly around the oval fungal spores. You can also see the mycellium forming around the spores it is the "root like branches". The spores are from a Platterful mushroom collected in South Carolina during the month of December 2011. It was growing in wood chips below an Oak. Spore prints were made then scraped into peanut oil. A week later this is what was in the oil.
