Weather Conditions: Cloudy no breeze, and very overcast.
Temperature: 60º Farenheit
Length of day: 10h 22m 14s
Organisms/Sounds/Sights: I saw some mushrooms or fungi growing on the tree stump right next to where I get my soil samples from. That has grown on the stump since the last visit I made.
Other data or observations: There were a bunch of leaves I had to clear and the ground was very hard. This is probably because of the cold weather that we have been having and even some snow. This hardens the ground and makes it colder.
Pictures:
Nice pictures of the fungi. Keep an eye on how long they last. You have a lot of green leaves yet and some students have almost no leaves left. Any ideas why? Are you noticing any patterns that would answer this?
ReplyDeleteOur summer lasted very long this year. We had sunny weather and warm temperatures well into October this year. This might cause the leaves to change color slower because they still had chlorophyll from the sunlight to keep them green. They changed late because there was more sunlight to keep them green, later in the year than normal.
