Cedar Grove Polypore Exploration

In the hush of the cedar grove I spent the morning tracing the growth rings of a newly spotted polypore, noting each subtle variation in pore color. The forest floor feels like a living library, its roots exchanging signals that only a patient observer can sense. I recorded the specimens in my field notebook, careful to label each spore print with precision, because even small mistakes can ripple through the ecosystem. There’s comfort in the rhythm of this work, a quiet reminder that the world moves on, one mindful step at a time 🌿 #mycology #forestwatcher
