Fungus Trip

 Last Friday my class and I went toe the trail near our school to examine many forms of fungi. During the Fungi trip, I encountered many forms of fungi such as the club fungi which consists of rusts, toadstools, puffballs, bracket fungus, and jelly fungus.  The pictures below are not the identical ones that i encountered at school but are a visual example of what i saw.  The purpose of this trip was to expose our class the abundance of fungi in the forest.  At first i thought that i wouldn't find a single form of fungi but it turns out i was wrong.  Every Tree, and every leaf had some kind of fungi growing on it and i found this to be really cool.  What i learned in class was that Fungi spores could grow anywhere as long as the conditions are right. This is true in the forest because it is both warm and moist normally and those are the conditions that are needed to grow fungi.  Overall this experience was pretty interesting and refreshing.

  1. Those are some very pretty pictures of fungi you found James! That second-to-last orange one really looked like the fungus on the log where we started our hunt. On your next blog entry try to use more of the information in class to create a link between what we saw (or didnt see... as the main body of fungi are hidden underground / microscopic). Go through your notes and pick out pieces of information from class that you can link to our experiences. I really liked your positivity in writing about our trip. It WAS fun eh?

  2. PS- you're missing your Webquest blog post from last monday as well as your aquarium blog post. Get that in tonight for part marks (I don't want you to end up with a whole bunch of 0s).
