While exploring the Caney Creek Trail (part of the Little Lake Creek Loop Trail) in the Sam Houston National Forest north of Montgomery, Texas, I discovered a fascinating resupinate polypore mushroom growing on the cut surface of a large pine tree. The species was identified as Skeletocutis or Antrodia, and it was observed on November 18, 2023. This unique fungus grows in an inverted position, with its cap facing downwards, and its gills facing upwards, creating a distinctive appearance. – generated by AI
