Field Course Algonquin Park- Day 11

The day was rainy and not much was active.

While walking down the Mizzy Lake Trail we saw a large tree gal on a black walnut or ash tree.  The tree appeared healthy despite this large gal.

There were many different species of mushrooms along the trail.There are little bright orange ones that live in sphagnum and larger ones that live on wood.

I really liked seeing all of the species of ferns:
Northern beach fern
Ostrich fern
Woosdia sp.


Darners were seen flying along the roads as American toads and catterpillars crawl across them.

We got salsa lessons that night from our prof and watched movies on the projector.
