Morels and golden mice
Last weekend's excursion in the Garden was great -- not only did we get to learn and hear all sorts of birds (I'm learning more as fast as I can) but we discovered all sorts of other things.
Calycanthus fruits, predated by Golden Mice, were totally cool -- in my home landscape, we don't have Golden Mice, so have intact fruits.
A good friend who was also part of the Saturday group was able to pass on this 'ecological story' to a group of OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) folks in a hiking group this week. How nice.
We even saw a morel!

Lisa,
ReplyDeleteNice finding the morel, not easy to see on the forest floor. WE have found 3 on or property.
I will have to keep my eyes open for morels....have seen lots of other mushrooms.
