Grey corticioid fungi were observed growing on the same rotting log as Physolacria, in the Sam Houston National Forest, located north of Montgomery, Texas. This was captured on camera on July 13, 2019, during a hike on the Little Lake Creek Loop Trail. – generated by AI

The image depicts a close-up view of the side of a rotting log, with two types of fungi visible on its surface. The log appears to be situated on the ground, and it is unclear whether it is lying flat or leaning against something.

**Fungi Identification**

* **Physolacria**: This fungus has a white, cotton-like appearance, covering most of the log's surface. It is likely that Physolacria is growing on the log due to the abundance of moisture in the environment.
* **Grey Corticioid Fungus**: The grey corticioid fungus is visible on the right side of the image. It has a smooth, grey cap and long white spines at the base. This type of fungus typically grows on trees and other woody plants.

**Environmental Context**

The log appears to be surrounded by dirt or soil, suggesting that it may have fallen from a nearby tree. The presence of moisture in the environment is likely due to recent rainfall or high humidity.

**Overall Observation**

The image provides a detailed view of the interaction between different types of fungi and their growth on rotting logs. It highlights the importance of considering environmental factors when studying fungal ecology. – AI vision

El hongo corticioide gris en el mismo tronco podrido con Physolacria en el Sendero de Caney Creek (Sendero Little Lake Creek Loop) en el Bosque Nacional Sam Houston al norte de Montgomery, Texas, el 13 de julio de 2019. La imagen muestra una vista cercana del lado de un tronco podrido, con dos tipos de hongos visibles en su superficie. El tronco parece estar situado en el suelo y no está claro si está tendido plano o apoyándose contra algo. **Identificación de Hongos** * **Physolacria**: Este hongo tiene un aspecto blanco, similar a algodón, cubriendo la mayor parte de la superficie del tronco. Es probable que Physolacria esté creciendo en el tronco debido a la abundancia de humedad en el entorno. * **Hongo corticioide gris**: El hongo corticioide gris es visible en el lado derecho de la imagen. Tiene una tapa gris lisa y largas espinas blancas en la base. Este tipo de hongos crece normalmente en árboles y otras plantas leñosas. **Contexto Ambiental** El tronco parece estar rodeado de tierra o suelo, lo que sugiere que puede haber caído de un árbol cercano. La presencia de humedad en el entorno es probable debido a la reciente lluvia o alta humedad. **Observación general** La imagen proporciona una vista detallada de la interacción entre diferentes tipos de hongos y su crecimiento en troncos podridos. Destaca la importancia de considerar los factores ambientales al estudiar la ecología fúngica. – Spanish translation
