The image presents a close-up view of a burned pine log covered with fresh growth of orange corticioid fungus Crustoderma dryinum. The log's surface is predominantly grayish-brown, with areas exhibiting varying degrees of charred blackness. These dark regions are interspersed with lighter, more vibrant patches in shades of orange and yellow, which appear to be the result of fungal growth.

The fungi are characterized by their distinctive, irregularly shaped bodies. Some display a smooth texture, while others exhibit a slightly rougher surface, featuring small bumps or ridges. The overall appearance suggests that the fungi have recently begun colonizing the log, as evidenced by the bright colors and relatively uniform distribution across its surface.

In summary, this image provides a detailed look at a burned pine log infested with Crustoderma dryinum. The log's darkened areas are interspersed with vibrant orange patches, which appear to be the result of recent fungal growth. – AI vision
