**Key Features:**

* **Tree Branch:** The branch has a rough texture and exhibits signs of decay, with some areas appearing more damaged than others.
* **Tarcrust Fungus (Biscogniauxia):** The fungus is visible as small, dark brown to black patches on the surface of the tree branch. These patches are irregularly shaped and have a slightly raised appearance.
