Album 2581: Sam Houston National Forest, Texas, October 20, 2019

The image shows two pieces of white, greasy bracket mushrooms (Aurantiporus fissilis) lying on a bed of brown forest floor material, likely fallen leaves and twigs.

Two large, irregularly shaped fragments from broken-off fungi are visible. One piece is in the foreground on the bottom left and another in the background on the top right. The upper portion of each fragment features long, thin white spines that taper to a point at their ends. The lower section has become duller and more brownish over time.

The mushrooms appear to have been broken off from a larger fungus growing on a big fallen oak tree near the creek in Big Creek Scenic Area of Sam Houston National Forest. It is not clear whether they were cut or broke off naturally, but it appears that they may be part of the same fungus. – AI vision

Sección de un hongo con sombrero blanco y grasa (Aurantiporus fissilis, Pappia fissilis) de una gran encina caída cerca del arroyo en el área escénica de Big Creek de la Selva Nacional Sam Houston. Shepherd, Texas, 20 de octubre de 2019. La imagen muestra dos piezas de hongos con sombrero blanco y grasa (Aurantiporus fissilis) que descansan sobre un lecho de material pardo del suelo forestal, probablemente hojas y ramitas caídas. Dos fragmentos grandes de forma irregular de hongos rotos son visibles. Una pieza está en primer plano en la esquina inferior izquierda y otra en segundo plano en la parte superior derecha. La porción superior de cada fragmento presenta largas espinas finas blancas que se estrechan hasta formar una punta en sus extremos. La sección inferior se ha oscurecido y se ha vuelto más parduzca con el tiempo. Los hongos parecen haberse roto del hongo mayor que crecía en una gran encina caída cerca del arroyo en el área escénica de Big Creek de la Selva Nacional Sam Houston. No está claro si se cortaron o se rompieron de forma natural, pero parece que podrían formar parte del mismo hongo. – Spanish translation
