As much as I am a summer-loving gal, I really do thrive during spooky season, too! One of my favorite classes of my undergrad studies was Mammalogy, where we learned how to identify wildlife by the evidence they left behind (scat, hair/fur, and skulls). Learning so much about skulls, the unique anatomy of each one, and how the morphology supported that animal's well-being was so fascinating!

October Outdoor Fun with The Art of Ecology: Learn more about wildlife adaptations, fall foliage, and other fall seasonal changes!

Carving into tree bark to commemorate a special moment, express creativity, or mark paths may seem like a good idea at the time, however this can severely hurt the tree!

One of the identifying features of the Death Cap is its large, swollen base, called a volva. When the mushroom fruiting body grows, it is enveloped by something called a Universal veil. As it gets larger, that veil breaks apart, leaving behind the sac-like volva, and on some fungi, some speckling on the cap. In some species there is no evidence of the universal veil at all!
