Black witches' butter fungus (Exidia glandulosa) on a fallen elm(?) on Caney Creek Trail (Little Lake Creek Loop Trail) in Sam Houston National Forest north from Montgomery. Texas, January 12, 2020



The black witches' butter fungus Exidia glandulosa can be found growing on fallen elm trees in the Sam Houston National Forest, located north of Montgomery, Texas. A photograph of this fungus was taken on January 12, 2020, during a hike along the Caney Creek Trail (part of the Little Lake Creek Loop Trail). The image showcases the distinctive black and white stripes of the fungus, which resemble a witch's hat, hence its common name. - generated by AI

The image features a close-up view of a black fungi growing on a fallen elm tree in a forest setting. The dark brown wood with visible grain is evident beneath the fungal growth.

The fungus itself has an irregularly shaped mass and appears to be composed of small, wavy folds that are densely packed together.

The overall appearance suggests that this image was captured in a natural outdoor environment, possibly during winter or early spring when the conditions may favor the growth of certain types of fungi. – AI vision
