The image shows a pink resupinate polypore mushroom growing on an old elm tree trunk that has fallen to the ground.

A pinkish-white fuzzy area of the fungus is visible at the top of the picture, and it appears to be spreading across the surface of the log in a horizontal direction. The rest of the log, which extends out of frame at the bottom, is dark brown with some light areas where bark has fallen off. The ground beneath the mushroom is wet with dirt and small twigs.
