High mountain reserve

I went to walk at the high mountain reserve during the day. It was pretty humid in the forest right before a down pour. I walked for around 40 minutes discovering some cool signs of life. When I first entered the forest i saw a dead log which had some lichen on it. The Lichen was whiteish green. As I continued I started to get bit by some bugs but also noticed a moth like insect almost hit me on the face. It was black with 2 orange dots. As i continued further i noticed some oyster looking mushrooms on a big dead tree stump. I felt like it was hard to find some fungus so i went a little off trail to an area where i thought i might find some cool things and i ended up spotting this fungus that complete covered the underside of a branch. It was white and made a big sheet on it. I honestly had a fun time taking photos and walking through nature. I felt like i observed more and actually got to take some time and enjoy the things going on around me
