Pine-Ridge

Tyler Morris

10/27/17 about 9:30 am at Pine Ridge Park. It was sunny outside but slightly chilly. The area was mostly wooded area.

1). Sword Fern

• Sharp tooth with incurved spike tip leaves
• Relatively large fern with stout, woody, stout rhizomes

This fern was growing in the mud so we thought that it was a resilient plant.

2). Vine Maple

• Multi stemmed tree
• About 15-20 meters
• Undeniable maple leaves

I learned about Vine maples in high school so I have always been able to notice and identify them since.

3). Hygrophorus or Gymnopilus

• Clear remainder of veil
• Has fragile gills

Korena got really excited when we saw this fungi.
