Plant walk and new camera

Turtling up on me. Are you turtley enough for the turtle club? What is that scope? So hopefully you guys can tell I got a new camera. It's a Canon FS 300 I like it the first time I've got to use it outdoors I'm at a place called Ojibwe across the street from the prairie that me and Ken usually go to some black oak dominated There's a big old sycamore see when sycamore gets really old the bark changes you can see this Fungus here looks like for lack of a better word poop on a stick It's a Piospora in morbosa or a black knot of cherry if you're not sure it's a good way to ID cherry That's it there. So this one it looks like Queen Anne's lace or wild carrot. It's actually hemlock and it's poisonous those are the leaves there and that's the flower top the flower top is what looks like Queen Anne's lace kind of Queen Anne's lace it's a lot more closed in something like that and there's always a black flower black dot in the middle of the flower this one there isn't one is almost impenetrable sumac there a bunch of big old cottonwoods you got some awesome mulberries here and it just rained there's actually water still falling mmm these are good washes off all the bird poop which is a plus not that bad size either mm-hmm damn these are good I've got a basswood tree here a couple of indicating features they usually grow in clumps like this so there's one two three four five or six of them here and it's all one tree obviously but they just grow in clumps like that so if you see the holes there the little holes that's very common on the basswood I think it's a sapsucker that does that and the leaves are pretty far gone right now the bugs have been going after them but they've got that almost heart shape or spade shape to them now they're edible when they're young well they're edible all the time but it's better when they're young so the three three good characteristics that this tells me that this is a basswood is the clumps the holes on the bark and the shape of the leaves up up nice good boy here's a good example of sassafras taking out quite a few different leaf shape that's the the trilobed one that is the single one and here is the mitten one so they're all from the same same branch of the tree actually there's the three different kinds which is a good indicator and also the green twigs you scratch them they smell mmm smells like to me it smells citrusy but they've always got a pungent smell to them so this part of the woods is called the oak savannah and there is not very many left of this kind in Canada this is one of the biggest ones I know there's a couple hours from here but this place is renowned for the for the black oak savannah used to be a lot of it it's a nice place for our far spread out trees with just a little bit of understory up once you get up north there's nothing like this at all there's There's a fawn over there, pardon my shaky hands.
