Growth pattern of corticioid fungus Heteroradulum deglubens(?) (Eichleriella deglubens) on a fallen tree in Lick Creek Park. College Station, Texas, April 12, 2023



The corticioid fungus Heteroradulum deglubens(?) (Eichleriella deglubens) exhibits a remarkable growth pattern on a fallen tree in Lick Creek Park, College Station, Texas. The photograph was taken on April 12, 2023, showcasing the diverse and intricate structures that emerge from the fungus. The growth pattern is characterized by the formation of numerous small, finger-like projections that branch out from a central point, creating a complex network of hyphae. These projections are covered in tiny, white spines that give the fungus a fuzzy appearance. The overall shape and structure of the growth pattern suggest that the fungus is adapting to its environment in order to maximize its exposure to sunlight and nutrients. – generated by AI
