The image showcases a close-up view of various fungi growing on a dark-colored surface, likely a fallen oak tree. The primary focus is on two types of jelly mushrooms: Exidia and Hypoxylon(?).
Exidia, characterized by its translucent yellowish-brown to orange-brown gelatinous appearance, covers most of the area. Its irregularly shaped caps are often less than 1 cm in diameter.
Hypoxylon(?) appears as a black fungus with a more compact growth pattern compared to Exidia. It is visible on the upper right and lower left edges of the image.
The surface they grow on is dark brown or black, possibly decaying wood from an oak tree (Quercus spp.). The surrounding environment suggests it was captured in Sam Houston National Forest, Texas, USA. – AI vision
