Album 3525: Sam Houston Forest and College Station, Texas, May 4, 2024

The image depicts a cross-section of a small mushroom, likely belonging to the species *Boletus subfraternus*, situated on the ground amidst some greenery.

**Physical Characteristics:**

* The mushroom's cap is not visible as it has been cut in half.
* The stem appears brown or reddish-brown and may be slightly thicker than the cap.
* The underside of the cap features a network of yellow, stringy growths that resemble a sponge-like structure. This could be indicative of the mushroom's ability to absorb moisture or nutrients from its surroundings.

**Coloration:**

* The stem has a brown or reddish-brown coloration.
* The underside of the cap is yellow with blue-green patches around the edges.

**Background:**

* The mushroom is lying on a bed of greenery, which could be moss, lichen, or small plants.
* The greenery is sparse and does not appear to be very dense.

**Context:**

* The location is Lick Creek Park in College Station, Texas.
* The date mentioned is May 4th, but it seems there may have been a typographical error as the image was likely taken on an unspecified year rather than 2024. – AI vision

Una sección transversal de un pequeño hongo Boletus subfraternus(?) en el sendero cerrado en Lick Creek Park. College Station, Texas, 4 de mayo de 2024. La imagen representa una sección transversal de un pequeño hongo, que pertenece probablemente a la especie *Boletus subfraternus*, situado en el suelo entre algo de vegetación. **Características Físicas:** * El sombrero del hongo no es visible ya que se ha cortado por la mitad. * El tallo parece ser marrón o rojizo-marrón y puede ser ligeramente más grueso que el sombrero. * La parte inferior del sombrero presenta una red de crecimientos amarillos filamentosos que se asemejan a una estructura esponjosa.
