Second Nature Walk - Fungi

For the second nature walk, I decided to walk around the Pine Tree Reserve on lower campus. It was a beautiful, warm, and sunny day. I didn't realize Boston College had recently build this miniature reserve recently, so it was refreshing to check it out after a stressful week full of midterms. There wasn't a lot of evident fungi, but I was able to identify a few different examples. The most obvious and frequent was fungi that resided on trees or stones. However, I also found two different groups of mushrooms growing on the side of a branch, which was exciting to see. Overall, it was a nice 30 minute walk, but next time I believe that I will pick a larger area with more biodiversity.
