Produce a detailed written description of a dreary scene outside a wilderness pond with clay, tendrils, and holes.

A large clumping of red clay juts from the still water. Rust-colored tendrils snake through the stagnant pool, often following barely concealed footprints of man and beast alike that lead away from the mound. Resembling a sponge, the porous surface is densely pitted with small holes and a low, steady buzz comes from within.
