Second Nature Walk: Theme Fungi

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.
