Fun Guys

Today, we went out looking for tree fungi, and saw several, and some really weird ones. But, as with all this Nature study, when I went to identify them, realized how vast is the amount I don't know... there are thousands. The most interesting fact we found out was that fungi are in a separate kingdom of their own, Eumycota, neither animal nor plant, though more closely related to animals than plants.

(Please do tell me if you know more!)

  lily-of-the-valley, such a scent! and books, yay! from Hélène
