Given the strict shelter in place street monitoring, a friend in Marin offered me a protected parking spot on his property close to the mountains. So, today, taking advantage of a much-needed immersion in nature, I hiked one of the long trails. Seeing this fallen tree that was mostly barren except for the multitude of thin, vertical branches of new growth on one side was stunning. Although I didn’t notice any Fantastic Fungi, the regeneration was obvious and exciting. Magnificent!
