Yellowing curtain crust mushrooms (Stereum subtomentosum) on a log in Lick Creek ParkWeb page of Lick Creek Park by Dept. of Biology of TAMU. College Station, Texas

🎞️ #2715-24

The image features a close-up photograph of yellowing Curtain Crust Mushrooms (Stereum subtomentosum) growing on a log in Lick Creek Park, College Station, Texas.

The mushrooms are characterized by their bright orange-yellow edges and brown centers, which can be attributed to the age of the fungus, with older specimens often displaying this distinctive coloration.

These bracket fungi, also referred to as "conks," exhibit a unique growth pattern that involves forming a crust on the surface of decaying wood. As they grow, they expand outward from their central point, creating an overlapping arrangement resembling a curtain or a fan. This characteristic appearance is where the mushroom gets its common name.

In terms of size, these mushrooms can vary significantly, but they generally range between 2 and 12 inches in diameter. They are commonly found growing on trees that have fallen to the ground and begin to decompose, particularly those from hardwood species such as oak or maple.

The fact that this image was captured in May suggests that it may be during a period when the mushrooms are beginning to sprout up after the winter season. By late spring, these bracket fungi typically start to become more visible on decaying logs and stumps throughout the park. – AI vision

🇪🇸 Descripción en español / Spanish Description

Setas de cortezas amarillentas (Stereum subtomentosum) en una rama en el Lick Creek Park. College Station, Texas, Mayo 27, 2020. La imagen muestra un primer plano de las setas de cortezas amarillentas (Stereum subtomentosum) que crecen en una rama en Lick Creek Park, College Station, Texas. Las setas se caracterizan por sus márgenes naranjas brillantes y centros marrones, que pueden atribuirse a la edad del hongo, donde los ejemplares más antiguos muestran esta coloración distintiva. Estos hongos de sombrero estriado, también llamados "conks", exhiben un patrón de crecimiento único que implica formar una costra en la superficie de la madera en descomposición. A medida que crecen, se expanden hacia afuera desde su punto central, creando una disposición solapada similar a una cortina o un abanico. Este aspecto característico es el nombre común del hongo. En términos de tamaño, estas setas pueden variar significativamente, pero generalmente oscilan entre 2 y 12 pulgadas de diámetro. Se encuentran comúnmente creciendo en árboles que han caído al suelo y se están descomponiendo, particularmente aquellos de especies de madera dura como roble o arce. El hecho de que esta imagen se capturara en mayo sugiere que puede ser durante un período en el que las setas estén empezando a brotar después de la temporada de invierno. A finales de primavera, estos hongos de sombrero estriado suelen comenzar a hacerse más visibles en troncos y tocones en descomposición por todo el parque. – Spanish translation
