Growing on hardwood log. Collected for sequencing.
With the high winds we had, it is a great time to look at decomposers that came in the blow downs.

This tree was everywhere at this location. They were maybe 50-60 feet tall with bright green leaves and trunks that were maybe 1 foot wide. At first I thought they were red alders but I couldn't see any cones. There were a lot of different mosses and lichens on the trunks. And I'm pretty sure the spotted towhees were nesting in these trees.
These trees had a lot of small branches with leaves growing out of the sides of the trunks. (This one had a wierd purple/pink thing growing on it.)
Many damaged and fallen mature bitter cherry trees found all across Grant Butte. Many suffered from heavy wind events of Jan-Feb 2023. final image of a dead standing PREM with peeling barkshowing bark beetle worm damage.
