California chaparral and woodlands
I spent this holiday weekend with my girlfriend at Harbin Hot Springs located in the Coastal Ranges of California right outside Middletown, CA. Hiking through this woodland area is beautiful. There is a oak cover of scrub oak (Quercus dumosa) and Coast Live oak. The ground is covered in leaves and there is not a lot of shrubbery. Every now and then a Manzanita can be seen.
"California chaparral and woodlands is a terrestrial ecoregion of lower northern, central, and southern California (United States) and northwestern Baja California (Mexico), located on the west coast of North America. It is an ecoregion of the Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and scrub Biome, and part of the Nearctic ecozone." (wikipedia)

A common whiteleaf manzanita found in oak woodlands of the chaparral costal ranges in CA. I saw this while hiking the hill slope in Harbin Hot Springs land.

Growing on the side of an oaktree this fungus fascinated me. It almost looked like wilted leaves, and was hard to the touch. I looked at neighboring Oak trees and didn't see it growing on them

Under a rotting oak log on the forest floor was this white stuff. Not sure what it is!

Growing on top of a rotting log this lichen (or fungus) stood out to me. It was decomposing the tree log.
