Welcome to my summer project, a journey fueled by curiosity and a passion for the natural world. As friends from university, I encouraged a group of us to embark on a mission to document and explore the wonders of our surroundings throughout the season. From the vibrant meadows to the dense forests and tranquil waters, each encounter became a cherished moment of discovery and learning.

2. Genus Morchella

Venturing deeper into the woods, our attention was captured by the elusive Genus Morchella. Known for its distinctively honeycombed cap and hollow stipe, this mushroom presented itself as a puzzle to unravel. The journal entry meticulously portrays its intricate texture and earthy hues, capturing the essence of our discovery. We marveled at its symbiotic relationship with the forest floor, pondering its ecological role and culinary allure. Our encounter with the Morchella left us inspired, eager to delve further into the realm of mycology.

Each illustration in our field journal represents a unique encounter, capturing the essence of our summer exploration and fostering a deeper appreciation for the natural world.
