Album 2876: Sam Houston Forest - College Station, Texas, March 3 - 5, 2021

The image shows an aerial view of a dark brown area covered with small orange clusters of round organisms.

Each cluster is roughly spherical and about 0.5mm to 2mm in diameter. Each cluster appears to be a fruiting body of a different slime mold species, which are often found in damp areas on or near rotting wood.

The clusters are scattered throughout the area, with some appearing to have attached tendrils that connect to other clusters. The ground is dark brown and appears wet, suggesting it may be damp or rainy weather.

There are no people, animals, or objects visible in the image other than the slime mold fruiting bodies. – AI vision

🇪🇸 Descripción en español / Spanish Description

Algunas colonias de líquen anaranjadas bajo una pina en el Sand Branch Loop Trail en la Sam Houston National Forest cerca de Montgomery, Texas, el 3 de marzo del 2021. La imagen muestra una vista aérea de una zona marrón oscura cubierta con pequeñas agrupaciones redondas y anaranjadas de organismos. Cada agrupación es aproximadamente esférica y mide de 0,5 mm a 2 mm de diámetro. Parece que cada grupo es un cuerpo fructífero de una especie diferente de líquen, que se encuentran con frecuencia en zonas húmedas sobre madera podrida o cerca de ella. Los grupos están dispersos por toda la zona, algunos parecen tener vástagos unidos que se conectan a otros grupos. El suelo es marrón oscuro y parece estar húmedo, lo que sugiere que puede haber llovido o hacer frío. Además de las colonias de líquen, no hay personas, animales ni objetos visibles en la imagen. – Spanish translation
