Nature Walk 3: Fungi

The area in which the fungi was found is near a small tributary to the Willamette, Tryon Creek. The creek runs between some hills and valleys within a coniferous forest. Though it had snowed earlier in the week, it was soon melted by the sun. In the park, it is all wild and resembles the wildlife that can be found in the larger Mt. Hood National Forest. There was significant overgrowth of invasive species such as common ivy. Much of the fungus that was found grew on decaying trees. Many of which appeared to be hosts to other species living on them.
