Nature walk #1
I did my nature walk at the Hammond Nature Preserve and pond. The weather during my walk was very chilly and windy, but the sun started to come out towards the end. In this particular location, there was an abundance of mushrooms and moss. But, there was a high species richness to both the mushrooms and the moss in that each one I saw seemed to be of a different species. The mushrooms ranged from colors like white and brown to red and orange. The moss species differed in their phenotypes in that some moss had differently shaped leaves and there was a difference in the thickness and surface covered. The moss I discovered in the pond was very phenotypically different than the moss on the trail, and this makes sense as the two species live in 2 different environments and have to adapt to their own environments. Overall, this spot had an abundance of mushrooms and moss but also had some plants, fruit plants, and lots of towering oak trees. There was a good amount of biodiversity at this Preserve.
