This time of the year you will find great opportunities to
see rare and handsome plants at Mohawk State Forest.
I visited the area with my Great Gran Children about two
weeks ago. We went to the Black Spruce Bog which is located across from the
Forest Office.
There is always a lot to admire in such a place. Bogs have a
charm of their own. They are acid enough to provide the visitor with special
plants, and if you
Russula emetica
Amanita muscaria
Sundews
Pitcher Plan
would happen to fall on one, you would be preserved for years to
come, just like on those bogs in Ireland. Do not fall!
I found two special sets of plants. In the area of Carnivorous
Plants, here we see The Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia
purpurea) and the Sundew (Drosera spp.),
and in the area of Fungi I found the infamous Amanita muscaria and Russula emetica,
both poisonous but charming.
