Friday's nature walk

On friday, my biology 11 class when on a nature walk to the fleetwood park's forest where we went out and explored different types of fungi and lichens. We found a lot of different type of club fungi like the typical mushroom we usually see out in forests. I found a really big shelf fungi on a tree log. There were also a jelly fungi we spotted while going out on our walk. I've never seen a jelly fungi before so that was pretty cool. The typical fungi s we saw were the flat lichens that were just plain white and green where they grew out of tree stumps and also trunks. On friday the ground and the tree stumps were pretty damp so we got to see slimy algae/fungi and when a guy in our class stepped on a big part of a tree bark he slipped because of how slimy the algae was.

  1. Your pictures are very nice Monica, I liked very much that you left them large so I could see them closely. In your next blog entry try to talk more about how the activities purpose helped us to understand biology (or what we learned in class) better. Also try to incorporate more facts that we learned in class. Perhaps go through your notes/memory and add those names, lifecycle facts, and concepts to what we saw on our trip. that'll get you full marks for sure! I especially liked your photo of the gills of that club fungus, it shows so clearly how the structure of the fungus is tuned for creating and dispersing spores. Good one!
