Please generate a detailed description of a foreboding scene outside a swamp with mushrooms, fungus, roots, and a tree.

An enormous tree lays across the path, crushed vegetation splayed out beneath the trunk. Jagged splinters protrude through thick crusts of mud and moss, and the pale roots of a sapling form a knotted mesh over the stump. The bark is covered in shelf fungus and mushrooms while darkened areas show where the wood has long since rotted away. To the northwest, a lake of thick, roiling mud inhibits passage.
