The underside of a decaying Ganoderma mushroom, possibly G. meredithiae or G. martinicense, was observed with the resupinate polypore fungus Trechispora mollusca (white) on Richards Loop Trail in Sam Houston National Forest, Texas, on January 27, 2021. – generated by AI

The image shows a close-up view of the underside of a decaying mushroom, possibly Ganoderma meredithiae or G. martinicense. The mushroom has been broken into pieces and is now covered with a resupinate polypore fungus called Trechispora mollusca.

**Mushroom:**

* **Ganoderma meredithiae:** A species of bracket fungus in the genus Ganoderma.
* **Ganoderma martinicense:** Another species of bracket fungus in the same genus.

Both species are known to grow on trees and stumps, particularly those infected with root rot or other diseases. They produce brownish-red caps that can reach up to 20 cm (8 inches) in diameter. The underside of the cap is white or light-colored, with radial ridges and a wavy margin.

**Trechispora mollusca:**

* **Resupinate polypore fungus:** A type of bracket fungus that grows flat against its substrate, often forming a thin layer or crust.
* **Appearance:** White to cream-colored, with a smooth or slightly wavy surface. The fruiting bodies are small, typically less than 1 cm (0.4 inch) in diameter.

**Overall Appearance:**

The image shows the underside of a decaying mushroom covered with Trechispora mollusca. The fungus has formed a white crust on top of the mushroom, which is broken into several pieces. The background of the image is gray, suggesting that it was taken outdoors in a natural setting.

**Conclusion:**

Based on the description provided, the image appears to show a decaying Ganoderma meredithiae or G. martinicense mushroom covered with Trechispora mollusca. The presence of these two species together suggests that they may be growing in close proximity to each other, possibly on the same tree or stump. Further research would be needed to confirm the identity of the organisms and determine their ecological relationship. – AI vision

El lado inferior de un hongo en descomposición Ganoderma (podría ser G. meredithiae o G. martinicense) con el hongo poliporo resupinado Trechispora mollusca (blanco) en el Richards Loop Trail en el bosque nacional Sam Houston, Texas, 27 de enero del 2021. La imagen muestra una vista de cerca del lado inferior de un hongo en descomposición, posiblemente Ganoderma meredithiae o G. martinicense. El hongo se ha roto en trozos y ahora está cubierto con un hongo poliporo resupinado llamado Trechispora mollusca. **Hongo:** * **Ganoderma meredithiae:** Una especie de seta del género Ganoderma. * **Ganoderma martinicense:** Otra especie de seta del mismo género. Ambas especies se sabe que crecen en árboles y troncos, particularmente aquellos infectados con podredumbre de raíces u otras enfermedades. Produce tapas pardusco-rojizas que pueden alcanzar hasta 20 cm (8 pulgadas) de diámetro. La parte inferior de la tapa es blanca o ligeramente coloreada, con surcos radiales y un borde ondulado. **Trechispora mollusca:** * **Hongo poliporo resupinado:** Un tipo de seta que crece plano contra su sustrato, a menudo formando una capa o costra delgada. * **Apariencia:** De color blanco a crema, con una superficie lisa o ligeramente ondulada. Los cuerpos fructíferos son pequeños, por lo general menos de 1 cm (0,4 pulgadas) de diámetro. **Aspecto general:** La imagen muestra el lado inferior de un hongo en descomposición cubierto con Trechispora mollusca. El hongo ha formado una costra blanca sobre el hongo, que se rompe en varios trozos. El fondo de la imagen es gris, lo que sugiere que se tomó al aire libre en un entorno natural. **Conclusión:** Basándose en la descripción proporcionada, la imagen parece mostrar un hongo Ganoderma meredithiae o G. martinicense en descomposición cubierto con Trechispora mollusca. La presencia de estas dos especies juntas sugiere que pueden estar creciendo cerca una de la otra, posiblemente en el mismo árbol o tronco. Se necesitaría investigación adicional para confirmar la identidad de los organismos y determinar su relación ecológica. – Spanish translation
