Scotland!
Recently, my program embarked on a trip to Scotland. It was a refreshing reminder of nature after having been encased in London for a few weeks now. I am itching to leave London again. Whilst on my trip, the most intriguing thing I saw was the fungal life. Living in California, especially recently, it’s been difficult to find mushrooms due to the extreme lack of rain. Scotland, however, seems to have no shortage of rain, and so mushrooms were easy to find. I found many when we went out and explored natural areas, but I also found many simply walking around the town we were staying in (Inverness). I’ve put the observations on my account. The landscape of the Scottish Highlands reminds me much of the coastal region back home. Although I had never stepped foot in Scotland, I felt a comforting familiarity that was much needed after spending time in the unknowns of a big city like London.
