Over 150!

With the recent addition of a new subproject "Fungi of Lake Frederick" we've just jumped past 150 distinct species!! With over 200 observations, we are starting to get a decently representative sample of the lake. Clearly deer and turkey are prominent members of our community, followed closely by fish and bird species. We have more observations of animals than plants, but currently American Sycamore is leading the charge, with Garlic Mustard spiking in the winter months (the deer wont eat it, so the forest floor starts to look "covered in GM" as they munch away the other undergrowth). Our new fungi category has opened up a few lichens, polypores, and puffballs.

Thanks to everyone that has participated - every observation helps!
