La imagen presenta una vista detallada de dos hongos de las escamas, Neolentinus lepideus, situados en un tronco de pino ubicado a lo largo del camino Caney Creek dentro de la sección del camino en bucle Little Lake Creek del bosque nacional Sam Houston, Texas. **Características del hongo:** * Las sombrillas son grandes y blancas con bordes marrones amarillentos. * Muestran patrones intrincados, que presentan escamas elevadas que recuerdan a una textura de dientes de sierra.
