Found this skull part on my remote hike. iNaturalist community says it’s a raccoon. One said it was really old. Interesting. No other bones around it. #zooarchaeology

At Bernheim’s BugFest last weekend, the USDA had these brilliant coasters educating the public on how destructive the spotted lantern fly can be to crops (hops🍺 and vineyards🍇). Last is my #spottedlanternfly costume. They are an invasive species making their way south to us in KY. 😱

This pretty vine is called Wilkweed Angelpod. It is a native plant that can grow up to 10 feet. It had such pretty dark and shiny leaves. It gets those milkweed pods that i loved playing with as a kid with long silky-stringed seeds. (Central Kentucky) #Gonolobussuberosus

Chicken of the Woods. I don’t eat meat. This mushroom has a surprisingly large amount of protein, 10+grams! It is one of my favorites to find and it is one that you can wash, cut and freeze for later too. #MushroomForaging

Found some Chicken of the Woods on my day off! It is a choice edible mushroom. It had been really dry and then rained just a bit, so it took on odd finger-like shapes. And, yes, it tastes like chicken. #Laetiporussulphureus #kentucky

Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve in Goshen, KY. A beautiful, short visit. It had been forever since I had been out there.

The Brood XIV periodical cicadas, ("Bourbon Brood") are out now in Kentucky and other neighboring states. The emergence of this brood , happens every 17 years. They don’t sting or bite, they are protein for birds and animals, and then fertilizer for the soil at the end. They only live 2-4 weeks.

Some fungi friends found at Bernheim Forest this past weekend (Louisville, KY). One is actually not a fungi species. Do you know which one?

From a hike on Sunday. Interesting plants and fungi at #BernheimForest just south of Louisville, KY. I met some new friends to show them a favorite trail.

This is #louisville April 5, 2025 for the peaceful #handsoff rally that also turned into a march down Main St. and back. There were so many people! I think 1,000+. The rain and flooding didn’t seem to be a deterrent. #kentucky
