The image presents an up-close view of a unique fungal growth, specifically identified as Hymenochaetopsis olivacea (Hydnoporia olivacea). This crust fungus has formed on the surface of a dry cypress elm tree within Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site in Texas.

Upon closer examination, it becomes apparent that the mushroom has taken on the appearance of small stalactites.
