The image shows a close-up of two rotting oak leaves covered with white mold fungus Cylindrium elongatum(?) on a wet forest floor.
The leaves are brown and have large veins that are visible along their surfaces. The mold appears as small, rounded, and irregularly shaped patches in white or light gray hues, which cover the majority of each leaf's surface except for the larger veins, some of which appear to be clean. The leaves lie on a wet forest floor with dark brown wood chips or bark. They are placed next to each other vertically, with their top edges aligned and parallel.
The image likely shows the early stages of decay in oak leaves that have fallen to the ground and been covered by mold. – AI vision
Hongo Cylindrium elongatum(?) en un hongo que se desarrolla en una hoja de roble podrido bajo un tronco en una zona húmeda del Caney Creek Trail (Little Lake Creek Loop Trail) en el Bosque Nacional Sam Houston, al norte de Montgomery. Texas, 19 de enero de 2023. La imagen muestra un primer plano de dos hojas de roble podridas cubiertas con hongo blanco Cylindrium elongatum(?) en un suelo húmedo del bosque. Las hojas son marrones y tienen venas grandes que son visibles a lo largo de sus superficies. El moho aparece como parches pequeños, redondos e irregularmente conformados en tonos blancos o grises claros, que cubren la mayoría de la superficie de cada hoja, excepto las venas más grandes, algunas de las cuales parecen limpias. Las hojas se encuentran en un suelo húmedo del bosque con astillas o corteza de madera marrón oscuro. Se colocan una al lado de la otra en forma vertical, con sus bordes superiores alineados y paralelos. La imagen muestra probablemente las primeras etapas de descomposición en hojas de roble que han caído al suelo y han sido cubiertas por moho. – Spanish translation
