Leaves play a vital part in the ecological cycle! We love leaves!

Wherever possible, leave leaves alone because leaving leftover leaves isn't leaf litter; every leaf left leaves lots of leaf nutrients and habitats literally for large living leaf communities of leaf-loving organisms, large and little!

Read about the importance of leaves in the article lovingly left by the Leaves for Wildlife Native Plant Nursery Facebook Group.

Fungi serve a necessary purpose in the ecosystem and some forms of fungi, like mushrooms, may also be consumed for food. But NOT EVERY mushroom!

Please be careful when foraging for edible mushrooms. If you lack experience, then seek expert advice first!

The reported cases of mushroom fatalities has increased. Don't become a statistic!

The state has recorded an unusual spate of poisonings from foraged mushrooms. There have been 35 since November, whereas fewer than five would be expected in an average year.

There are so many invasive species already! It's great that this one was discovered, but the fights far from over!!!
