The drawing is… well rudimentary but I found this mushroom with tentacle like attachments on the stipe. About the size of the last digit of your thumb. The protrusions from the stem occurred around the stipe and reminded me of those hairs on new bicycle tires. Please help!

I first seen this goose closer to the grass. He or she started walking towards the dirt, and I assumed they were going towards the lake. But now that he is by the lake, he is not going inside the water. The goose is now walking on the sidewalk. He is following the path of the sidewalk, just staying on the sidewalk. They’re walking in a straight line. They are slowing down now and he is moving to the dirt and here he is now, smelling and biting at some things on the ground. The goose actually is now walking back towards the water. But they are still staying on the dirt. Now he has paused. This lasted only a few seconds before he was walking again. They keep looking at their surroundings. Here he is now paused for longer than I’ve observed.
Wow, he just looked at me! It’s interesting to me how this goose is not entering the water. They may just be wanting to enjoy the sun. Oh wow here she is now walking towards me! We are pretty close in distance now! We’re only a few yards away. The goose is getting even closer to me. As they are walking up to me, they are biting at the things around them and eating. Oh, I have to take a picture!! Now that I am seeing them up close, I am receiving female energy. There is a puddle next to me that they walked over to and is now drinking water. They must’ve been thirsty. As she is drinking water, she cleans her feathers. While she is drinking water from the puddle, I am pretty close to her. She is now done drinking water and she is walking back towards the lake. This is pretty much the same position she was in when I started this observation.
I thank her, and the energy, and time that she shared with me. I feel like she knew what I was doing and is still staying within my proximity. She is so beautiful and elegant. Even when I returned to my car, I can still see her. I hope she stays safe.

Thanks to @alsion for pointing out the wasp pupa and the relationship of the virus in the interaction on my original beetle observation.
