During my walk through Burns Bog I came across this fallen tree and I was able to take a soil sample from the dirt around its roots. I am excited to see what grows from this sample as I saw fungi growing from the tree itself and they may have contributed to weakening the tree enough so that it fell over in the last windstorm we had. Burns Bog is full of fungi on the ground and growing from trees so I expect I will see a lot of growth on the dish with this sample. The fact that this tree is fallen and it had algae growing from it makes me think it was not a healthy tree.
