The image displays a close-up view of a corticioid fungus growing on the bark of a fallen pine tree in Sam Houston National Forest, Texas.

The surface of the pine is covered with long, thin, and light-colored strands that have broken off the main mass and are now sprouting from all directions. The colors range from beige to light tan, giving them a slightly faded appearance. They are densely packed but not overlapping or entwined, instead growing in different directions as if they're competing for space.

In the upper left corner of the image is a small patch of greyish-blue fungus with a rough texture. This section has a slightly darker color than the rest of the surface and appears to have a more porous structure.

The pine tree's bark serves as the substrate, providing nutrients and support for the growth of this corticioid fungus. The overall appearance suggests that the fungus is thriving in its environment, with the dense network of strands covering much of the surface.

Captura cercana de un hongo corticioide en la corteza de un pino caído en el área escénica Big Creek del Bosque Nacional Sam Houston. Shepherd, Texas, 23 de noviembre de 2018. La imagen muestra una vista cercana de un hongo corticioide creciendo en la corteza de un pino caído en el Bosque Nacional Sam Houston, Texas. La superficie del pino está cubierta con hebras largas, delgadas y de color claro que se han roto de la masa principal y ahora brotan en todas direcciones. Los colores varían de beige a marrón claro, dándoles una apariencia ligeramente desvaída. Están empaquetados densamente pero no se solapan ni se entretejen, sino que crecen en diferentes direcciones como si estuvieran compitiendo por el espacio. En la esquina superior izquierda de la imagen hay una pequeña mancha de hongo de color grisáceo-azulado con una textura rugosa. Esta sección tiene un color ligeramente más oscuro que el resto de la superficie y parece tener una estructura más porosa. La corteza del árbol sirve como sustrato, proporcionando nutrientes y soporte para el crecimiento de este hongo corticioide. El aspecto general sugiere que el hongo está prosperando en su entorno, con la densa red de hebras cubriendo gran parte de la superficie. **Resumen** La imagen captura una vista detallada de un hongo corticioide creciendo en la corteza de un pino caído en el Bosque Nacional Sam Houston, Texas.
