Bryoparasitic Pezizales fungus Lamprospora carbonicola with moss Funaria hygrometrica on an old bonfire site on a forest clearing under utility lines near a parking at Osborn Rd. on Caney Creek section of Lone Star Hiking Trail in Sam Houston National Forest north from Montgomery. Texas

🎞️ #2871-05

The image shows a close-up view of a moss-covered log with small green plants and a fungus growing on it. The log is covered in a thick layer of dark brown or black algae-like substance, which is likely the result of decomposition. There are several small green plants visible, including what appears to be Funaria hygrometrica (also known as feather moss).

In addition to these plants, there is also a fungus growing on the log, specifically Lamprospora carbonicola, which is known for its ability to infect other organisms and cause them to produce spores. This fungus is likely responsible for the growth of the small green plants around it, as they are often associated with fungal infections.

The background of the image shows a forest clearing near an old bonfire site on Caney Creek section of Lone Star Hiking Trail in Sam Houston National Forest north from Montgomery, Texas. The overall atmosphere suggests a damp and humid environment, which is consistent with the growth of mosses and fungi in this area. – AI vision

Texas, 22 de febrero de 2021. La imagen muestra una vista detallada de un tronco cubierto de musgo con pequeñas plantas verdes y un hongo creciendo sobre él. El tronco está cubierto por una capa espesa de sustancia similar a algas marrones oscuros o negros, lo que probablemente sea el resultado de la descomposición. Pueden verse varias plantas verdes pequeñas, incluido lo que parece ser Funaria hygrometrica (también conocido como musgo plumoso). Además de estas plantas, también hay un hongo creciendo sobre el tronco, específicamente Lamprospora carbonicola, que es conocido por su capacidad para infectar a otros organismos y hacerlos producir esporas. Este hongo es probablemente responsable del crecimiento de las pequeñas plantas verdes alrededor de él, ya que a menudo se asocian con infecciones fúngicas.
