Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The base of a tree. The tree shown here stands at one side of a narrow strip of woodland; a bit of rusted wire (a remnant of a fence) is visible, dangling to the left of the tree; just behind it, a woodland stream ( 1282404) is flowing.

A cavity at the base of the tree caught my attention. It is visible here, just right of centre, and had a thick featureless white crust inside. The material had the consistency of fine cotton wool. I had encountered a similar substance before, although much more scattered, alongside Trentepohlia algae.
