Nice walk today with Ian Ramjohn and Mike Delong instructors from Botany.. along with Leslyn and Adam and Atticus. Leslyn looked at fungi; we found a daedaeloid (?) fungus on moribund Juniperus, Loculoascomycetes' black crust everywhere... lots of shelf fungi polypores. Ian and Mike had good suggestions about posting student capstone work that had been done at the Woods and looking up floristics work students (Jessica) may have already done.
Mild cloudy day. The western Woods was wet/ inundated about 320 ft from SW gate and water was flowing through the beaver dam area (slowly). The broad drainage west of and leading to the beaver dam was filled with interesting flotsam (algae?)
Ian says his BOT 2404 Ecology & Environmental Quality class has done water quality analysis in the past.. and it might make sense to compare water quality of the Eastern Wash draining Lloyd Noble Parking Lot vs the West ponds produced from spilling ground water table.
