Webster Conservation Walk - 9/30/20

Today, I set off to walk through the trail Hammond Pond and Webster East, but as I was getting there, I noticed a trail in the Webster Conservation Area, both a hiking and rock climbing park. So I decided to explore the trail and spent about an hour both on and off-trail. It has been a long time since I explored a wooded area leisurely, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The colors have just started to change, so the ground speckled with yellows and reds. The weather was perfect for walking in the woods - breezy and not humid. Since this week we were asked to focus on fungi, I specifically sought out dying trees and particularly moist areas. I also took pictures of plants that I noticed growing in unusual places, like the side of a cliff. I did my best to try and determine the species for the fungi and plants but I was not very successful.
