Honestly, we have had very little opportunity to view any kind of fungus lately. The weather has just not created conditions needed to allow for much fungal growth. This means our bracket fungus nature study and our stinkhorn nature study will just have to be postponed.
I have looked in all the normal places and still no bracket fungi or stinkhorns to observe for this Outdoor Hour Challenge.
Does that mean we couldn’t learn anything? Not at all. Reading the pages in the Handbook of Nature Study help prepare us for future opportunities to see these amazing structures up close. I am confident that we will find some bracket fungi and some kind of stinkhorn to see in person in the near future.
In the meantime, we enjoyed a great afternoon of hiking on a beautiful autumn day. I am thankful today for being able to see the wonderful and amazing creation around us with open and appreciative eyes.
Have you found any fungi to study yet?
We have found some. I tried to show them here, but could not. We found a tall cylindrical shaped one and a flat light colored one.
We are hoping to see some soon. So glad your family found some to study.
The majority of our fungi have already been buried in several feet of snow. We had just started on spider studies when the blizzard conditions hit. Luckily for you and for us, there are lots of other great things to explore, right? 🙂
Yes! Always something to study!
