I’ve found my favorite mushroom of all time… such a beautiful fungi.
Leaves that shimmer
Shine and whisper
Through the trees
You hear us shiver
The cold air comes and with it rain
It pulls us down
We wince in pain
Is it time already?
We’ve just begun
All this weather has ruined our fun
I thought our colors had time to last
In prior years
Autumn was vast
As climate changes
So do we
Don’t take for granted
What you see
For soon you won’t
And nor shall we
The colors of
The Autumn tree

Since my last visit here the leaves have begun to fall at a much higher rate, and the ground is covered in multi-colored leaves of all types.
I have noticed a few more mushrooms popping up around the bank and on tree trunks, indicating a more moist environment.

Back at Salmon Hole!
There are even more mushrooms than the last time and leaves are already changing and falling to the forest floor. The woods are beautiful this time of year, I am noticing so much plant diversity right before it begins to die for winter.

This is a location at Salmon Hole!
I chose this specific spot because of the vegetation, rocks, and water. I think it will be really cool to be able to see this spot change as the seasons change and as time progresses. It is relatively accessible from where I’m living; As shown in the map it is a short bike ride away.
Some common woody plants I found here include; American Beech, Paper Birch, Basswood, Black Cherry and I noticed some smaller shrubs like Barberry and Honey Suckle, both of which are invasive to the area. Along the waters edge, there was clear evidence of significant erosion surrounding many of the exposed tree roots and trunks. The bank of the river was loose soil and crumbling rocks.
There is also a highly concentrated population of mushrooms in this specific area of Salmon Hole. Mushrooms of all sizes are clinging to the damp or dead standing trees and poking out from the grassy understory.
