Album 3313: Mushrooms at Lake Somerville, Texas, January 1, 2023

The image presents a close-up view of the texture and appearance of Dichostereum effuscatum, a brown corticioid (crust) mushroom growing on a fallen dried live oak branch.

**Visual Description**

* The fungus appears to be growing on a dead or dying branch of a live oak tree.
* The surface is covered with thin layers of brown crust that appear to be brittle and dry.
* A few small, dark-colored spots can be seen scattered across the surface, likely representing areas where the fungus has broken through the bark.

**Coloration**

* The dominant color of the mushroom is a light brown or beige hue, which may indicate its age or the type of wood it is growing on.
* Some areas display a slightly darker brown coloration, possibly due to the presence of other microorganisms or substances that have accumulated on the surface.

**Texture**

* The overall texture of the fungus appears to be rough and uneven, with some areas featuring more pronounced ridges or bumps than others.
* In some places, the crust seems to be breaking away from the underlying wood, revealing a slightly lighter-colored surface underneath.

**Other Observations**

* There are no visible signs of other organisms, such as insects or mold, present on the surface of the fungus.
* The background is not visible in this close-up shot, but it can be inferred that the image was taken outdoors during daylight hours. – AI vision
