Water droplets (guttation) of corticioid fungus Dichostereum effuscatum on underside of an oak log on Iron Bridge Trail in Lick Creek ParkWeb page of Lick Creek Park by Dept. of Biology of TAMU. College Station, Texas

🎞️ #3397-15

The image depicts a close-up view of the underside of an oak log, showcasing water droplets (guttation) produced by the corticioid fungus Dichostereum effuscatum. The surface is characterized by a light brown color with darker brown spots and patches scattered throughout.

**Key Features:**

* **Water Droplets (Guttation):** Small, clear or slightly yellowish droplets are visible on the log's surface, likely produced by the fungus as it absorbs moisture from the environment.
* **Log Surface:** The underside of the oak log exhibits a light brown color with darker brown spots and patches, indicating potential damage or decay.
* **Fungal Growth:** The presence of Dichostereum effuscatum is evident through its characteristic water droplets, which are commonly associated with this type of fungus.

**Overall Impression:**

The image provides a detailed view of the intricate relationship between the fungus and the oak log's surface. The water droplets suggest that the fungus is actively absorbing moisture from the environment, while the darker brown spots and patches indicate potential damage or decay to the log. This image offers valuable insights into the behavior and ecology of corticioid fungi in natural environments. – AI vision
