The image shows a close-up view of a section of a decaying tree trunk, with a white to brown crust fungus visible on its surface. The fungus is likely Biscogniauxia atropunctata, as mentioned in the caption.

**Visual Features:**

* **Tree Trunk:** The tree trunk is grayish-brown and appears rough, indicating decay or rot.
* **Fungus Growth:** A white to brown crust-like growth covers part of the trunk's surface. This growth has a cracked appearance and resembles bark, but it is not as thick or rigid.
* **Mold or Lichen:** Small greenish-blue patches are scattered throughout the fungus growth. These may be mold or lichen growing on top of the fungus.

**Context:**

* **Location:** The image was taken in Sam Houston National Forest, north from Montgomery, Texas, on June 17, 2018.
* **Season:** Based on the presence of greenish-blue patches that could be indicative of algal growth, it is likely that the image was captured during or after spring. This timing would allow for sufficient moisture and temperature conditions suitable for fungal growth.
