I went on my second nature walk today, this time by the Pine Tree Reserve by Boston College for about an hour. I was not expecting to find such a large variety of fungi around trees, tree stumps and rocks. There were a lot of pine trees that had flaky barks that layered on top of each other which was really cool.
I'd say I found about 5-9 unique species of fungi. It was interesting to see how there are different types of fungi and the way they grow with the different spore shapes and color. I noticed how many like to grow around tree bark and sometimes even on rocks as they tend to have a symbiotic relationship with trees and plants. I was unable to find any mushrooms of the sort at the reserve unfortunately. Their spores were ring shaped and had different colors for each ring within the spore that were mostly dark in color.
Overall the walk today was very enjoyable today with great weather and a myriad of observations.
Appears to be a variant of lichen growing on rocks. It can either be discoloration.
Some fungi growing by some moss on some rocks. It has circular or crescent spores with a brown interior and white exterior.
Another species of fungi growing by others. It has a green and white pattern ring for its spores.
Another species of fungi found nearby other species of fungi. Has a similar spore structure as the others nearby with a yellow brown pattern and a white ring on the outside just like the others.
More fungi that’s pretty similar to other species found around the same tree stump. It has similar features with a brown and yellow pattern rings for its spores but blooms in a more chaotic fashion instead of layer by layer.
Another great find by some tree stumps. It has a nice aquamarine color as it grows by some moss as well. They’re extremely small and fine and aren’t nearly as large as typical fungi.
Very similar to other fungi nearby. It has a pattern of turquoise, black, brown and white rings for its spores.
