Two of my favorite spring plants, almost entirely based upon their progression from bud to leaf, are beech trees and false hellebore. Two of my favorite spring plants, almost entirely based upon ...
Ectomycorrhizal symbiosis, showing root tips with fungal mycelium from the genus Amanita. An ectomycorrhiza (from Greek ἐκτός ektos, "outside", μύκης mykes, "fungus", and ῥίζα rhiza, "root"; pl. ectomycorrhizas or ectomycorrhizae, abbreviated EcM) is a form of symbiotic relationship that occurs between a fungal symbiont, or mycobiont, and the roots of various plant species.
Kellie shows Chats a library book that features real samples of tree leaves inside. Charli rakes and picks up the fallen leaves from a tree. Tim uses instruments made from wood to write a song about a tree. Charli rides on her hoop swing hanging beneath a tree. Kathleen explores different patterns found on trees experimenting with her own designs.
