My Pine Tree Reserve walk 10/4

Today I went with some friends from class for a nature walk! Although we saw plenty of birch and pine trees, our main focus was on the mushrooms. It was a hot and sunny day, so the shade was nice. On our walk down, we found many of the same species of mushroom, the "Hairy Rubber Cup", growing at the base of all the trees on the sidewalk. Once we got to the forest, there was a lot more biodiversity found among the mushrooms. Several were huge, and growing in clusters. But some, like the Milky Conecap, were tiny and difficult to spot in the tall grass. Some even looked like they had melted, because I think they were dying. Overall, we found several different kinds of mushrooms, and it made me wonder just how many mushrooms there are in my own backyard!
