2nd Eco Evo Nature Walk

This week for my walk, I went to the Houghton Garden Conservation Area with some other members from the class. The weather was rainy which made for very moist ground and the plants to appear wet. It felt nice to step away from campus and walk in an actual place with trails. We saw many trees and other plants as it was a woodsy area. We also walked over a little pound and saw some ducks swimming. The main thing that we were looking for was fungi. We saw many different types of fungi, some were growing in the ground, on trees or at the base of the trees. The fungi were also different colors. Some of them were white, most of them were an orange-brown color and one was ever purple. When I was walking, this made me think back to class and learning about the tree of life. I wondered how closely related these different types of fungi were and if they would form a clade. I wondered what their common ancestor was. I also know that fungi is a eukaryotic organism and therefor have a nucleus enclosed within the membrane. It was interesting to be able to see real life examples of fungi in nature instead of just learning about it in class. We saw many different kinds of fungi, I didn't realize that when you really look for them, they can be easy to spot in nature!
