Fungus Sightings
Fungi are one of the decomposers; they help to break down organic materiel and turn it into soil. Additionally, many fungi have mutually beneficial relationships with living trees, helping them acquire more nutrients from the soil in exchange for sugars.
In Washington, we are blessed with a huge diversity of fungi in all shapes, sizes, and colors. What fungi do we have at IslandWood? Where is it growing? When is it growing? Will it grow in the same place at the same time every year?
