Fibrecap (Inonotus) mushrooms in wet area on Caney Creek section of Lone Star Hiking Trail in Sam Houston National Forest north from Montgomery. Texas, September 17, 2020



On a damp and overcast day in late summer, I ventured into the Sam Houston National Forest's Caney Creek section of the Lone Star Hiking Trail, where I discovered an array of Fibrecap (Inonotus) mushrooms dotting the landscape. The mushrooms were found on September 17, 2020, and their vibrant orange caps stood out against the drab backdrop of the forest floor. Despite the wet conditions, the trail was teeming with life, showcasing the resilience of these fascinating fungi in the face of adversity. – generated by AI
