Houghton Garden Walk on October 5, 2022

My friend and I walked through the Houghton Garden for around 50 minutes. The weather was really cold and it started to rain by the end. The ground was wet and muddy, so we had to stay on the path for the majority of the time. Throughout our walk, we saw a wide range of plants and animals. There was a lot of greenery, but compared to last time, there were more vibrant colors, such as red, orange, and yellow. Since this week's theme is fungi, we tried to look for different mushrooms along the path. We saw mushrooms in different colors, shapes, and forms, which are seen in the pictures attached. Some of the mushrooms were in groups while others were alone. The wide range of differences shows the different species of mushrooms that exist. They are visually very different from one another, which is related to morphological species. My friend and I were able to tell Overall, I really enjoyed walking through the garden and exploring new places that showcase biodiversity.
