🎞️ #2253-17

This photograph features a white poroid resupinate fungus, likely identified as **Brunneoporus malicola(?)**, on the underside of a fallen oak branch. The species is named after its fruiting bodies' resemblance to a brown mushroom.

The image captures the underside of the branch, where the fungus has developed in clusters. Each cluster consists of numerous overlapping white cups with rounded edges and an irregular shape that appears like a flower petal when viewed from above. These clusters are scattered across the surface of the branch, leaving behind patches of bare wood interspersed among them.

In addition to the fungus, some brown debris is visible on the surface around the fungal growth. The overall coloration of the image ranges from white and light brown to dark brown and black, with the fungus itself appearing as a bright white that contrasts with the darker colors of the surrounding bark and debris. – AI vision

Hongo resupinado poroide Brunneoporus malicola(?) en la cara inferior de un ramal de roble caído en Lick Creek Park. College Station, Texas, 30 de abril de 2018. En esta fotografía se ve un hongo resupinado poroide blanco, probablemente identificado como **Brunneoporus malicola(?)**, en la cara inferior de un ramal de roble caído. La especie recibe su nombre debido a la similitud de sus cuerpos fructíferos con los de un hongo marrón. La imagen captura la cara inferior del ramal, donde el hongo ha crecido en racimos. Cada racimo consta de numerosas copas blancas superpuestas con bordes redondeados y una forma irregular que recuerda a un pétalo de flor cuando se ve desde arriba. Estos racimos están dispersos por toda la superficie del ramal, dejando zonas desnudas de madera entre ellos. Además del hongo, también es visible restos marrones en la superficie alrededor del crecimiento fúngico. La coloración general de la imagen oscila entre el blanco y el marrón claro hasta el marrón oscuro y el negro, apareciendo el propio hongo como un blanco brillante que contrasta con los colores más oscuros de la corteza y los restos circundantes. – Spanish translation
