For this week's nature walk, I decided to walk around the natural space that can be found on campus right next to the Connell Recreation Center. The spaces has a couple of asphalt paths for people to walk around and a bunch of benches scattered around to to sit and take in the environment. It was pretty gloomy and cold when I was walking around today, however, the space was very quiet and calming. There weren't a lot of people walking around to disturb me from observing the nature around me. I spent some time sitting on a bench relaxing and listening to music. I enjoyed just being outside under the canopy of the trees around me. This week's theme of fungi was somewhat difficult to observe in the area I chose. I was only able to make 2 observations pertaining to fungi. I found it difficult spotting them along the paths and even in the thick brush found off the path. I think this might have been because the area surrounding this natural space is well maintained making it difficult for fungi to grow and decompose dead organisms around it. Overall, I enjoyed this weeks nature walk even though it started to rain at the tail end of my walk.
I also added an observation taken a couple of weeks ago from a weeping widow (fungi) that I observed in the same space.
