Wrinkled crust fungus Gloeoporus ambiguus (Meruliopsis ambigua) on a fallen pine branch after several rainy days near Pole Creek on North Wilderness Trail of Little Lake Creek Wilderness in Sam Houston National Forest north from Montgomery. Texas

🎞️ #3221-27

The image presents a close-up view of the Wrinkled crust fungus (Gloeoporus ambiguus), also known as Meruliopsis ambigua, growing on a fallen pine branch within the Little Lake Creek Wilderness area in Sam Houston National Forest.

In this photograph, we see the fungus's distinctive white to cream-colored cap, characterized by its wrinkled texture. The caps' edges are slightly curled up and flared out, giving them an irregular appearance. The caps feature numerous tiny pores that cover their surfaces, with some of these pores displaying a brownish hue due to dirt or debris accumulation.

The background of the image is blurred, but it appears to be a forested area. In the upper right corner, we can see a cluster of branches and twigs, while the lower left side shows a dark-colored wood surface that may be part of the pine branch supporting the fungus. The overall atmosphere suggests a damp environment, as indicated by the numerous rain days preceding this photograph. – AI vision

Hongo Gloeoporus ambiguus (Meruliopsis ambigua) con corteza arrugada sobre una rama de pino caída cerca del arroyo Pole en el Sendero North Wilderness de Little Lake Creek Wilderness en el Bosque Nacional Sam Houston al norte de Montgomery. Texas, 31 de agosto de 2022. La imagen presenta una vista detallada del hongo Gloeoporus ambiguus (también conocido como Meruliopsis ambigua), que crece en una rama de pino caída dentro del área silvestre Little Lake Creek Wilderness en el Bosque Nacional Sam Houston. En esta fotografía, podemos ver la característica tapa blanca a crema del hongo, caracterizada por su textura arrugada. Los bordes de las tapas están ligeramente rizados hacia arriba y ensanchados, dándoles un aspecto irregular. Las tapas presentan numerosos poros minúsculos que cubren sus superficies, algunos de los cuales muestran un tono parduzco debido a la acumulación de polvo o residuos. El fondo de la imagen está borroso, pero parece ser una zona boscosa. En la esquina superior derecha, podemos ver un grupo de ramas y ramitas, mientras que el lado inferior izquierdo muestra una superficie de madera de color oscuro que puede formar parte de la rama de pino que sostiene al hongo.
