El hongo Sawgill Escamoso (Neolentinus lepideus) en el sendero Richards Loop de la Sam Houston National Forest. Texas, 5 de octubre del 2024. La imagen muestra una vista cercana de la parte inferior de una tapa de seta, mostrando sus detalles intrincados. * Color y textura de la tapa * La tapa es predominantemente blanca con manchas marrones dispersadas. La textura parece suave pero ligeramente rugosa alrededor de los bordes. * Gillos * Los gillos son decurrentes (unidos al tallo), extendiéndose por toda la longitud del tallo. Inicialmente amarillo pálido y se vuelven más oscuros a medida que envejecen, volviéndose marrón rojizo o castaño. * Poros * Los poros en el lado inferior de la tapa son pequeños y con forma irregular. Están dispuestos en un patrón radial, y algunos parecen estar más densamente empaquetados que otros. * Tallos * El tallo no es visible en esta imagen debido a su estrechez comparada con el tamaño de la tapa de la seta. Es probable que sea blanco o ligeramente pigmentado y delgado. * Esporas * La impresión de las esporas es marrón rojizo, lo que indica que la seta maduró y liberó sus esporas. En resumen, el Hongo Sawgill Escamoso (Neolentinus lepideus) exhibe una tapa blanca con manchas marrones, gillos decurrentes, pequeños poros irregulares en la parte inferior de la tapa, un tallo estrecho blanco o ligeramente pigmentado y una impresión marrón rojizo. – Spanish translation
