October 4 Reservoir Walk

I took a 30-minute walk near and around the Chesnut Hill Reservoir, where it was chilly and overcast, but as I walked around, the cold air wasn't as bothersome. I noticed that many of the trees had a type of fungi called Lichen growing on them, and there was even some lichen on rocks around the water. After walking around for a bit in the woods nearby, I found mushrooms in the woods; they were hard to spot because they resembled the acorns scattered all over the ground. I also saw a tree stump that had two types of fungi growing on it; one had an orangey color to it and another was a light brown. There were also a lot of scattered branches that had lichen on them as well. It was really cool to see.
