Coral slime mold (Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa) on rotting wood in Lick Creek ParkWeb page of Lick Creek Park by Dept. of Biology of TAMU. College Station, Texas

🎞️ #2267-06

The image features a close-up photograph of a tree trunk covered with white coral slime mold (Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa), likely decaying due to fungal growth. The dark brown and black bark is partially visible on either side of the tree trunk in the photo, which appears to be lying horizontally.

**Composition**

The image is divided into two halves: one half shows the top surface of the tree trunk covered with white coral slime mold, while the other half displays the bottom surface, where a small portion of the bark remains intact. The white growth on the tree trunk consists of hundreds of small balls or clusters.

**Background and Context**

The background is not visible due to the close-up nature of the image, but it appears that the tree trunk lies on top of leaves and twigs. The overall atmosphere suggests a forest floor setting, possibly in an area with decaying wood or fallen trees. – AI vision
