Album 2213: College Station, Texas, December 10, 2017

This photograph showcases a close-up view of an old, dry tree trunk, likely from the Kiwanis Nature Trail in College Station, Texas. The tree's bark is predominantly grayish-green with some patches of brown and red hues. Numerous cracks are visible on the surface.

The fungus Corticioid has grown on the tree, covering approximately a quarter of its length. This species typically appears as a thin layer or crust on decaying wood and can be found in various shades of white to dark brown. In this image, it is primarily light green with darker areas towards the edges.

The overall appearance suggests that the fungus is attempting to break down the tree's cellulose and hemicelluloses, which are complex carbohydrates found in plant cell walls. This process typically occurs over a period of several years or decades. – AI vision

Los hongos corticoides en un pequeño árbol seco en el Kiwanis Nature Trail. College Station, Texas, 10 de diciembre de 2017. Esta fotografía muestra una vista cercana del tronco de un árbol viejo y seco, probablemente desde el Kiwanis Nature Trail en College Station, Texas. La corteza del árbol es predominantemente de color grisáceo con algunos parches de tonalidades marrones y rojas. Numerosas grietas son visibles en la superficie. El hongo corticoides ha crecido sobre el árbol, cubriendo aproximadamente una cuarta parte de su longitud. Esta especie normalmente aparece como una fina capa o costra sobre madera en descomposición y puede encontrarse en varios tonos de blanco a marrón oscuro. En esta imagen, es principalmente verde claro con zonas más oscuras hacia los bordes. El aspecto general sugiere que el hongo está intentando descomponer la celulosa y hemicelulosas del árbol, que son carbohidratos complejos encontrados en las paredes de las células vegetales. Este proceso ocurre normalmente durante un período de varios años o décadas. – Spanish translation
