I was shopping a the 14th st garden center and I noticed I field behind which had a lot of goldenrod. The property was surrounded by Japanese Knotweed along the perimeter. However, the knotweed had not taken over a majority of the property yet was filled in the many different plants. The knotweed also kept out the tree-of-heaven which was encroaching on the edges, covered in spotted lantern fly.

Begonia menchunaensis P.Gyeltshen & M.Hughes is described from the cool broadleaved forest of Punakha District in Bhutan. It is assigned to Begonia sect.

Today, I went for a walk by the Chestnut Hill Reservoir. Unlike my last nature walk, the temperature today was much cooler and the wind was steady and strong at around 12 miles per hour. The reservoir surface was rippling. It was still nice to get outside and enjoy some fresh air before the sun goes down. On my walk, I encountered several cases of stereum, all located on different trees scattered throughout the woods. I also saw a few mushrooms at the base of a large oak tree. I saw lich...
I walked around Cambridge and around Harvard's campus. I originally walked around Harvard Square and I didn't find any fungi, but I walked onto the campus and found a wide variety of fungi surrounding the trees. The weather was around 45 degrees, and it was very windy outside. I walked for at least 45 minutes and I noticed that I was only able to find mushrooms around trees that were moist, or with dark soil. After a while, I was able to know which trees would have fungi around them base...
I walked for around 40 minutes in the Houghton Garden Conservation in Newton. The weather was quite cool, and it was overcast. It didn't really matter because there was mostly total tree coverage along the different paths. I could tell that the season is turning to fall as many of the leaves had just began to turn in shade to an orange color, however, there was still flowering plants around. The colder weather could also explain why I saw no animals around. Besides the trees, much of the...
Hi folks, I'll be participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer's this year. As some of you know, my father suffers from Alzheimer's. Because it runs in families, I may face it myself as I grow older.
Please don't feel any pressure to donate, but if you're able to consider a tax-deductible donation towards a good cause this year, here's my fundraising page: http://act.alz.org/site/...
This morning my daughter got up "too early" and joined me for a walk in our local park - knowing I'd most likely make my 1,000th iNaturalist observation today. What a gift iNaturalist has been in my life, and sharing the excitement of my 1,000th observation with @greatspaceflamingo was also a gift (as she got me into this wonderful adventure only a little over a year ago)!

I went and walked around the Houghton Garden area for approximately 45 minutes. I would say that earlier the weather was only mildly cold and only mildly windy and was perfectly acceptable to go for an outdoors stroll. When I was there I was taken aback by how green the area itself was and how many different types of plant life that were present. I was impressed and in awe with the many different types of fungi growing throughout the entirety of the garden and how diverse they were for b...

MNSEEDers again have the opportunity to learn more seed saving tricks from Urban Roots. Last year Dave Woods and the interns at Urban Roots shared ingenious power tool hacks and seed storage best practices. We can't wait to see what timely techniques they'll have this year! Bring your seeds and questions! Space is limited so sign up now at https://mshs.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/mshs/event.js...
We’d like to thank our MN SEED volunteers for all of their time, passion and expertise. The familiar faces of Dave Crawford, Julia Brokaw, Kenrie Williams, Judi Petkau, Vanessa Van Alstine, Becky Swee, Ella England, Elsa Hoover, Charlotte Palmer, Seven Hanson, Lance O’Connor, K.D. DeAcetis, Alyssa Campbell and Noah Anderson have helped us identify plants and pollinators, recognize when seed is ready for harvest, explore the fun and best ways to separate seed from chaff and tell our MN SE...
Hello Observ-a-thon participants! We are so excited to kick off this week of exploration, observation and celebration. Thank you for your participation in this inaugural event. Best of luck as you venture out to find and document biodiversity in your area.
I encourage you all to read through the Observer Toolkit, which provides additional information about the event, including some resources for how to spread the word and recruit sponsors for your observations. You can find the ...
I have observed what appears to me to be curly dock. I found a recipe for curly dock crackers I may want to try.

Cryptomys
The 5Cryptomys species were previously regarded as a single species Cryptomys hottentotus, but have sufficient DNA differences to justify species status.
They can currently only be distinguished by DNA according to the fundies (although earlier taxonomists recognized them as subspecies before DNA techniques).
The are probably allopatric and can thus be identified by their locality, although specific limits still need to be determined.
The rabbitbrush is flowering again in the Albuquerque area, and I was able to get out to go nature hunting for the first time in several weeks. The most common species I saw on rabbitbrush were Painted Lady and Chauliognathus lewisi, with the latter being quite abundant and gregarious on certain individual plants. Lots of similar observations from NM are being added to the project, which is great to see. A big thanks to
Wow, This is great the GSBiogroup has now topped 700,000 observations!
The ongoing project has really grown! with some amazing contributions from around the world! I wonder if we will manage to hit a new mile stone by the end of the GSB? possibly with a few new members and a big effort during the event?
The group truly has some amazing observers from all over the southern hemisphere, pleas take some time to have a look at their amazing work and say hi you may learn from e...

This afternoon, I went on a walk around the the Pine Tree Preserve and eventually walked around the Chestnut Hill Reservoir for the first time since I have arrived on campus. It was a very gloomy and slightly chilly day. The Pine Tree preserve was the most interesting path I've ever taken. Surprisingly, I saw a few Eastern Gray Squirrels sprinting across the green. I saw a few shrubs growing nearby the tree stomps. By the time I got to the reservoir, it was surrounded by trees that were...

For my nature walk, I travelled to Stoneham and walked on a trail that edges the Unicorn Golf Course. The trail was very scenic and wooded and I saw many different species of plants and animals along the way. On my walk the weather was slightly chilled, but still seasonal at about 60-65 degrees and partly cloudy. It was also pretty windy that day as well. Along the walk I saw various different types of plants (some of which I have linked to this post). In particular, I noticed that the r...
