Along my walk in a park, I came across some type of fungus on the bark of a tree. After some research I came to a conclusion that it is most likely Sunburst Lichens. I was able to identify it because of the yellowish colour. This belongs to the Fungi Kingdom.

Paper Birch (Betula papyrifera)Observer
dennisfontynDescription
I came across this Birch tree while I was exploring Jack Darling Park in Mississauga. I believe it to be a Paper Birch as the type of bark can actually flake, or peel off the trunk of this tree. This type of tree in the correct season, is full and has green leaves. From the season we are currently in, it has lost all of the leaves which would make this tree look full. This belongs to the plant kingdom

I found a type of fungus on a rock as I was exploring the wilderness in a local park. I believe it to be moss. From the picture, you can see the rock is not covered with the moss, however it is covering a certain section on the surface of the rock

With observation of the water drops, you can really see the size of the spider. This picture was taken in a suburban area in Mississauga, ON. This species belongs to "Kingdom Animalia."

Common Reed (Phragmites australis)Observer
candacecrookDescription
I took these pictures of what I believe to be Bulrushes along Cook's Bay in Keswick, ON. Although they look different than the bulrushes I am used to seeing, I think this change in appearance is due to the winter season. This species belong to the plantae kingdom.
