The image presents a close-up view of two distinct fungi species growing on the underside of an oak log.
In the upper part of the image, Stereum, a corticioid fungus, is visible. This type of fungus has a soft, fleshy texture and appears as a flat, thin sheet that covers the surface of the wood. It typically exhibits shades ranging from light brown to dark brown or black, depending on its age.
Below Stereum, Xylodon flaviporus, a common cream-colored resupinate polypore, is visible. Resupinate fungi grow in a flat manner and often have a white or cream coloration with the same texture as the underlying wood.
The oak log appears to be weathered, with cracks visible on its surface that allow for exposure of the underside where the fungi are growing. – AI vision
