February 11, 2024 Insulating the Shed and a Look Around

Stereum ostrea, false turkey tail, at the top of North Trail.

It was drizzling rain and the high temperature was in the 50s. We saw many plants on the forest floor greening up. As we walked through the woods, we pulled out vines or cut them to kill them and stop them from strangling the trees. We took down some standing dead trees as well. We walked down from the top by the driveway and wound around the southern wet weather gully to the waterway at the bottom of the slope. We followed the waterway around to the wet weather gullies on the north central slope. It was lovely out. We also found a cluster of oyster mushrooms.

Pleurotus ostreatus, oyster mushrooms growing from a buried stump.

We were able to get most of the insulation in the shed completed.
