Fungus

My second nature walk wasn't really a walk but more like a jog. I decided to take this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone: complete my assignment and not gain the freshman fifteen. The run started with me observing fungi growing out of a dead tree. This was notoriously where I would suspect most mushrooms to be since many are decomposers, breaking down dead material. This is where the majority of my search was. I don't know how to classify these fungus specifically so I tried my best. For my next few observations I did notice mushrooms that were coming out of the ground. They were all very unique. One had this crust like substance on the top (when I tried to look it up the only thing that came up was pizza) that I had never seen before, and some others had this type of white fuzz around it. My guess would be that it was mold. The most interesting observation I found was this fungus that was growing on this dead branch that was bright orange. This really caught my eye as I was running past it because it covered the majority of the branch and was like a blanket of decomposition. The most notable thing from my run was the amount of diversity in mushrooms and fungi there were and the different ways they grew and flourished. I find it very interesting.
