Taking a Leek!

Inspecting the upstate NY woods in mid April...
upon closer inspection, I see some leeks!

Ramps...
and some more ramps.

Ramps like to grow on slopes by the sides of creeks, streams, and rivers....

Radiating green!

Ascending the green slope...
reptile brain connected...
reptilian guardian of the woods..."please harvest sustainably" snake


Continuing up the slope...
fungal distraction or...
mycelium presenting a fruiting body for a photo op.

The black cohosh...

a reminder that the ever elusive morel might be popping up soon.

Back at the top!

Fungus and ramps...the dynamic duo!

THE END
