🎞️ #3100-26

The image presents a close-up view of a resupinate polypore mushroom, specifically Ceriporiopsis mucida, growing on a fallen and burned pine tree trunk in the Stubblefield section of Lone Star hiking trail within Sam Houston National Forest. The photograph was taken on January 23, 2022.

**Mushroom Description**

* **Color**: The mushroom's cap exhibits a creamy white hue with subtle brownish-yellow stains.
* **Texture**: Its surface displays a unique texture characterized by numerous small, interconnected pores that resemble the skin of an orange peel. These pores are densely packed and appear to be arranged in concentric circles around the central stem.
* **Shape**: The mushroom's cap is roughly circular or oval in shape, with a slightly irregular outline due to its growth on the curved surface of the tree trunk.

**Growth Environment**

* **Tree Trunk**: The mushroom is growing on a fallen and burned pine tree trunk, which suggests that it may have been influenced by the fire.
* **Substrate**: Although not visible in this image, the mushroom likely has mycelium (vegetative part of the fungus) spreading through the wood, breaking down organic matter to obtain nutrients.

**Background**

* **Tree Trunk**: The background features a dark brownish-gray color due to the burned pine tree trunk.
* **Pine Needles**: A few scattered pine needles are visible around the edges of the image, adding context to the forest environment in which the mushroom is growing.

Primer plano del hongo poliporo resupinado Ceriporiopsis mucida en un pino (?) caído y quemado en la sección Stubblefield del sendero Lone Star, al norte desde el punto de partida No. 6 en el bosque nacional Sam Houston, Texas, 23 de enero de 2022. La imagen presenta una vista de primer plano de un hongo poliporo resupinado, específicamente Ceriporiopsis mucida, que crece en un tronco de pino caído y quemado en la sección Stubblefield del sendero Lone Star dentro del bosque nacional Sam Houston. La fotografía se tomó el 23 de enero de 2022. **Descripción del hongo** * **Color**: El sombrero del hongo presenta un matiz blanco crema con manchas marronáceo-amarillentas sutiles. **Textura**: Su superficie muestra una textura única caracterizada por numerosos pequeños poros interconectados que recuerdan la piel de una cáscara de naranja. Estos poros están densamente empaquetados y parecen estar dispuestos en círculos concéntricos alrededor del gambo central. * **Forma**: El sombrero del hongo es de forma aproximadamente circular u ovalada, con un contorno ligeramente irregular debido a su crecimiento sobre la superficie curvada del tronco del árbol. **Ambiente de crecimiento** * **Tronco del árbol**: El hongo está creciendo en un tronco de pino caído y quemado, lo que sugiere que puede haber sido influenciado por el fuego. * **Sustrato**: Aunque no es visible en esta imagen, el hongo tiene micelio (parte vegetativa del hongo) que se extiende a través de la madera, descomponiendo materia orgánica para obtener nutrientes. **Antecedentes** * **Tronco del árbol**: El fondo muestra un color marrón oscuro grisáceo debido al tronco de pino quemado. * **Aguijones de pino**: Algunos agujas de pino dispersas son visibles a lo largo del borde de la imagen, lo que aporta contexto al entorno forestal en el que está creciendo el hongo. **Impresión general** La imagen ofrece una vista íntima de un hongo poliporo resupinado que crece sobre un tronco de pino caído y quemado en el bosque nacional Sam Houston. La textura y coloración únicas del hongo se destacan contra el fondo oscuro del tronco del árbol, creando un contraste visual impactante que muestra los detalles intrincados de este organismo fascinante. – Spanish translation
