A fungal infection known as cedar-apple gall can be seen on a twig of red cedar at Lake Somerville Trailway near Birch Creek Unit of Somerville Lake State Park in Texas. This was captured on camera on January 25, 2019. The fungus, Gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae, causes the formation of galls on the twigs of red cedar trees, which can be seen as small, round, greenish-yellow structures. These galls are actually a type of fruiting body that produces spores, which are dispersed by wind or water to infect other red cedar trees in the area. This fungus is particularly interesting because it has a complex life cycle that involves both plants and insects, and it can have significant impacts on the health and productivity of infected trees. – generated by AI

The image presents a close-up view of two pieces of what appears to be a small branch or twig, accompanied by an additional piece at the bottom left corner, all set against a black background.

At the top center of the image, one half of the branch reveals its inner side, featuring a pale yellowish-brown color with numerous small holes. The other half is brown and exhibits several knots, likely resulting from fungal growth or insect infestation.
