Pequeño trozo de liquen en forma de bucle arrugado (Hypotrachyna livida) en un árbol del sendero Caney Creek (sendero Little Lake Creek Loop) en el bosque nacional Sam Houston cerca de Huntsville, Texas, el 2 de marzo de 2019. La imagen presenta una vista detallada de un pequeño trozo de liquen en forma de bucle arrugado (Hypotrachyna livida) que crece en el tronco de un árbol, con especial atención a su textura y coloración.

Apariencia del Liquen:
* El liquen tiene un tono gris verdoso distintivo.
* Su superficie se caracteriza por pequeñas depresiones circulares que recuerdan a bucles u orificios.
* Estas depresiones le dan al liquen su nombre común, "liquen en forma de bucle arrugado".
* Tronco del Árbol:
* El tronco del árbol proporciona un sustrato natural para el crecimiento del liquen.
* Parece áspero y desgastado, con grietas y hendiduras visibles que pueden haber contribuido a la formación del liquen.
* Patrón de Crecimiento:
* El liquen ha formado densos agregados en ciertas áreas del tronco del árbol.
* Estos agregados son probablemente indicativos de condiciones óptimas para el crecimiento de la especie de liquen.
**Resumen:** La imagen muestra un vibrante trozo de liquen en forma de bucle arrugado que prospera en el tronco de un árbol desgastado. La textura y coloración únicas del liquen se exponen claramente, con sus pequeñas depresiones dándole un aspecto distintivo.
