Hammond Pond Adventure!

This evening, I went on a walk around the Hammond Pond trails for about an hour. I started at about 6:00 pm, so it was relatively dark when I was exploring. The temperature was roughly 55 degrees and it was raining. I saw several types of fungi on my walk, including mushrooms that grew on the ground and some that grew on trees. I think it's interesting that fungi form from eukaryotic multicellular organisms and can reproduce both sexually and asexually. When asexual reproduction occurs, the fungi spread through spores, which we have learned about in our microbiology unit. On my walk, I also spotted a big frog which was neat! I wish I saw a few more animals and flowers too, but it got dark quickly. I really liked this park and hope to explore the area when the weather is nicer!!
