Q8 #ParkChat Some of those notable #autumn scents are due to the decay of fallen leaves and other organic matter. Fungi are nature’s recycling centers, and abound in autumn. What kinds of interesting fungi have you found in your autumn wanderings? (Of note: many fungi fluoresce in UV light!)
Don't eat this mushroom that popped up near Dunker Church on the Antietam Battlefield. It is poisonous and will make you very sick.

Fairies meeting their end beneath cheap flyswatters, splattered against the windshield of a passing car, mulched between clapping palms, suffocated in a thick fog of bug spray, starved on a thin layer of fly tape... Dealt with like any other flying pest, a mundane massacre on a warm autumn day...

Q7 #ParkChat Trees aren’t the only kind of plant to go dormant in #autumn. Prairie grasses go golden, often with tiny purple or yellow flowers. Have you seen a late autumn grassland before? Share photos if you have them!
Maryland has grasslands! The serpentine barrens turn golden in the mid-Autumn sun.

Q6 #ParkChat Most people equate flowers with springtime, but many flowers are #autumn bloomers, giving bees and other insects a last chance at storing up energy to get through winter. What are some of your favorite autumn blooming flowers?
Blue mistflower is like the autumn equivalent to the Virginia bluebells with it's striking color. 

Boneset is something I've grown to love, as it is food for so many organisms that rely on late-blooming flowers.
