White mold Cladobotryum verticillatum grows on milkcap (Lactarius) mushrooms in the Big Creek Scenic Area of Sam Houston National Forest, Shepherd, Texas. This was observed on November 27, 2019.

The image shows a collection of three milkcap (Lactarius) mushrooms, partially covered with white mold, likely Cladobotryum verticillatum, on top of brown leaves and twigs. The three large brownish-red mushroom caps are surrounded by smaller pieces of the same color.

The middle mushroom is fully visible and has a rounded shape with a slightly flattened bottom. It appears to be a milkcap (Lactarius) mushroom, which is a type of fungus that belongs to the family Russulaceae. The white mold, likely Cladobotryum verticillatum, covers parts of the mushrooms' caps.

In the background, there are brown leaves and twigs scattered around the mushrooms. These leaves appear to be dry and brittle, suggesting that they may have fallen from nearby trees during autumn or winter.

Overall, the image captures a moment in nature where three milkcap (Lactarius) mushrooms have been affected by white mold, likely Cladobotryum verticillatum. The presence of dry leaves and twigs in the background adds context to the scene, suggesting that it may have taken place during a season when vegetation is dormant or dying back. – AI vision

Moldo blanco Cladobotryum verticillatum en hongos leñadores (Lactarius) (forma anamorfa de Hypomyces ochraceus o Hypomyces armeniacus) en la Zona Escénica del Arroyo Big de la Forestal Nacional Sam Houston. Shepherd, Texas, 27 de noviembre de 2019. La imagen muestra una colección de tres hongos leñadores (Lactarius), cubiertos parcialmente con moho blanco, probablemente Cladobotryum verticillatum, encima de hojas marrones y ramitas. Los tres sombreros de los hongos grandes y de color parduzco se encuentran rodeados por fragmentos más pequeños del mismo color. El seta intermedio es completamente visible y tiene una forma redondeada con una parte inferior ligeramente aplanada. Parece ser un hongo leñador (Lactarius), que es un tipo de hongo que pertenece a la familia Russulaceae. El moho blanco, probablemente Cladobotryum verticillatum, cubre partes de las setas. En segundo plano, hay hojas marrones y ramitas dispersas por todas partes en torno a los hongos. Estas hojas parecen estar secas y quebradizas, sugiriendo que podrían haber caído de árboles cercanos durante el otoño o el invierno. En general, la imagen captura un momento en la naturaleza donde tres hongos leñadores (Lactarius) han sido afectados por moho blanco, probablemente Cladobotryum verticillatum. La presencia de hojas y ramitas secas en segundo plano agrega contexto a la escena, sugiriendo que pudo haber tenido lugar durante una estación cuando la vegetación está durmiendo o muriendo. – Spanish translation
