The image shows an orange corticioid mushroom growing on the underside of a burnt pine or oak log, possibly Crustoderma dryinum, in Richards Loop Trail within Sam Houston National Forest, Texas, on January 9, 2021.

This corticioid fungus is characterized by its irregular, roughly circular shape and yellow-orange coloration. The irregularly shaped mushroom has a white to light brown cap with an orange hue, which appears like a thin layer of crust-like material covering the burnt log's surface. Its edges are slightly raised above the substrate, giving it a small mound appearance.

The fungus is growing on the underside of a pine or oak log that has been charred by fire, indicating that the mushroom is likely saprobic and feeds on dead organic matter.
