While some mold on cheese is fine (it's made with mold after all), this is just crazy! Cheese mold, like a green or blue cheese, is often made with Penicillium sp., and in small quantities, isn't bad. In large quantities it can make you feel nauseous and sick.

Now that it's getting colder, many animals will have buried themselves in the mud or lower regions of water to stay warm. Different temperatures of water don't mix well, so when the top part of water gets super cold, it can't mix with the warmer water near the bottom, making it a good habitat for fish and amphibians to overwinter in. In the spring when the water temperature at the top warms up a bit, it will mix with the warmer bottom layer and bring up all the nutrients that have settled over the seasons, making it available for all manners of wildlife!

Just a simple leaf floating down the stream. Did you know that fallen leaves provide extremely valuable food and habitat for aquatic critters? Macroinvertebrates rely on the fungi and algae that will start to decompose this leaf as food resources and some will even turn this leaf into a house!

You may have seen my stories about the human recreational impact on soil analysis I have been doing for grad school, and I think it's worth talking a bit more about...
