Web-like growth of light brown parasitic fungus Sporophagomyces chrysostomus(?) under resupinate polypore mushroom Fulvifomes johnsonianus (Phellinus johnsonianus)(?) on a large fallen oak on Caney Creek Trail (Little Lake Creek Loop Trail) in Sam Houston National Forest north from Montgomery. Texas

🎞️ #2652-18

The image presents a detailed view of two distinct fungal species growing on a fallen oak tree trunk in Sam Houston National Forest.

**Fulvifomes johnsonianus (Phellinus johnsonianus)**

* The resupinate polypore mushroom is characterized by its flat, broad caps that are often found growing on trees and decaying wood.
* Its reddish-brown to dark brown cap surface is visible in the image, with a smooth texture.

**Sporophagomyces chrysostomus(?)**

* This parasitic fungus exhibits a web-like growth pattern, covering parts of the tree trunk beneath the Fulvifomes johnsonianus.
* The light brown coloration and delicate filaments are typical of Sporophagomyces species.

**Environmental Context**

* The fallen oak tree is situated on Caney Creek Trail (Little Lake Creek Loop Trail) in Sam Houston National Forest.
* The image was captured on February 29, 2020, indicating a late winter or early spring season.

**Key Observations**

* The presence of both fungi species suggests a complex relationship between them, with Sporophagomyces potentially parasitizing Fulvifomes johnsonianus for nutrients.
* The unique growth patterns and colors of these fungal organisms highlight the diversity of mycological life in this forest ecosystem. – AI vision
