Nature Walk; October 5,2022
For this nature walk, I went to the Hammond Pond Reservation located about 2 miles off campus. The area was quite large and contained a lot of uncultivated wildlife. The weather was cloudy and rainy, and the temperature was mild (around 57 degrees), so the conditions weren't the best. Within some of the plants, but mainly on fallen tree trunks, I noticed some mushrooms and fungi. They fungi varied in color and size, and were higher up on trees, but also lower on the ground. The brighter colors were much more visible, but with a bit of searching I was able to find some of the smaller, more neutral colored mushrooms.
