Nature Walk on Pine Tree Preserve 10/6/21
For my nature walk, I decided to observe the fungi around the Pine Tree Preserve. It was a little chilly outside but thankfully the sun was out to create some warmth (~60℉). I walked around the area for about forty minutes. There were far more fungi than I expected to find on the pathway! Upon arriving on the path I immediately saw interesting types of fungi growing on tree branches, trees, and in the grass. As I walked further down the path and up the hill, I noticed more mushrooms in different shapes, sizes, and colors. My observations indicate about five different types of fungi but I was fortunately able to see far more than that when walking. Overall, I enjoyed the walk as it was extremely cool to see such a vast variety of fungi on campus.
