Album 2406: Big Creek Area of Sam Houston Forest, Texas, November 23, 2018

The image displays a close-up of the underside of what appears to be a mushroom cap, with a porous surface that is off-white and slightly yellowish around the edges. The pores are very tiny and densely packed, giving it a velvety appearance.

There are some small dark spots on the underside that could be insect holes or dirt. There's also a thin white rim along the edge of the mushroom cap where it meets the stem. This is likely to have been a polypore mushroom, which is a type of bracket fungus. Polypores typically grow in clusters and produce spores through pores or tubes on their undersides.

The caption mentions that the image was taken in Big Creek Scenic Area of Sam Houston National Forest in Shepherd, Texas, on November 23, 2018. This suggests that the mushroom was identified as Heterobasidion annosum(?) based on its appearance and location. However, without further information or confirmation from a mycologist (mushroom expert), it is not possible to say for certain whether the mushroom is indeed Heterobasidion annosum. – AI vision

🇪🇸 Descripción en español / Spanish Description

Los poros de un hongo poliporo Heterobasidion annosum(?) en el Área Escénica del Arroyo Grande del Bosque Nacional Sam Houston. Shepherd, Texas, noviembre 23, 2018. La imagen muestra una vista cercana de la parte inferior de lo que parece ser una tapa de hongo, con una superficie porosa que es blanquecina y ligeramente amarillenta en los bordes. Los poros son muy pequeños y densamente compactados, dándole un aspecto terciopelado. Hay algunas pequeñas manchas oscuras debajo que podrían ser agujeros de insectos o suciedad. También hay un delgado borde blanco a lo largo del borde de la tapa del hongo donde se une al tallo. Lo más probable es que se haya tratado de un hongo poliporo, que es un tipo de seta en forma de consola. Los poliporos suelen crecer en racimos y producir esporas a través de poros o tubos debajo. El pie de la foto menciona que la imagen se tomó en el Área Escénica del Arroyo Grande del Bosque Nacional Sam Houston en Shepherd, Texas, el 23 de noviembre de 2018. Esto sugiere que el hongo fue identificado como Heterobasidion annosum(?) según su apariencia y ubicación. Sin embargo, sin más información o confirmación por parte de un micólogo (especialista en setas), no es posible decir con certeza si el hongo es en realidad Heterobasidion annosum. – Spanish translation
