Album 3024: Winters Bayou Trail in Sam Houston Forest, Texas, September 18, 2021

The image displays close-up details of a white, crust-like mushroom growing on a rotting log along the Winters Bayou trail within Sam Houston National Forest. The fungus appears to have grown outward from the center where it is more densely packed and thicker, while the outer margins are thinner and more sparse. The texture resembles a layer of foam or soap.

The fungi likely belong to the genus Hyphoderma or Xylobolus, which both feature white crust-like growths on dead wood. However, without further information, a specific identification is not possible.

The image was captured by photographer and amateur mycologist Kevin McKinney on September 18th, 2021, in Sam Houston National Forest near Cleveland, Texas. – AI vision

🇪🇸 Descripción en español / Spanish Description

Primer plano de los márgenes de algún hongo en una corteza en un tronco fuertemente podrido en el Winters Bayou Trail en Sam Houston National Forest. Cleveland, Texas, septiembre de 2021. La imagen muestra detalles de cerca de un hongo blanco similar a la costra que crece en una corteza en proceso de descomposición a lo largo del Sendero Winters Bayou dentro del Bosque Nacional Sam Houston. El hongo parece haberse desarrollado hacia el exterior desde el centro, donde está más densamente empaquetado y es más grueso, mientras que los márgenes exteriores son más delgados y escasos. La textura recuerda a una capa de espuma o jabón. Es probable que los hongos pertenezcan al género Hyphoderma o Xylobolus, que presentan crecimientos blancos similares a la costra en madera muerta. Sin embargo, sin más información no es posible una identificación específica. La imagen fue capturada por el fotógrafo y micólogo aficionado Kevin McKinney el 18 de septiembre de 2021, en Sam Houston National Forest cerca de Cleveland, Texas. – Spanish translation
