Houghton Garden Walk, Thursday Oct. 10 2024

I explored Houghton Garden today for the first time. It was a very peaceful walk, especially because I was moving very slowly as I looked around for fungi. I noticed that all the fungi I found were growing at the bases of the trees. My hypothesis for this observation is that fungi are able to receive nutrients from the trees since fungi have the ability to degrade lignin. One of the fungi even had tons of little worm-looking organisms living under it which I found very interesting. It's possible that they lived in the same spot since both fungi and worms are decomposers. Overall, I had a good time during this walk.
