Walking around Jasper Ridge this morning I saw the amazing fruiting body of a Hericium erinaceus (Common Name: lion's mane) on a dead oak tree. #lionsmane #fungi #hericium #mycology #mushroom Thanks Kabir for the ID!

One of the best hikes I have done in the Santa Cruz mtns! Lewis Reed & I met through the ESA SEEDS program & have been friends for more than 18 yrs! We always try a new hike in December & today we did Rhus Ridge to Skyline via Black Mountain, 8 miles, 3,570 feet total ascent! #midpenopenspace #midpen #hiking #sfba #bayarea #SantaCruzMountains #outdoors

Today started with a very cold #sunrise morning, some #fog over the #lake and #icecrystals in veg. Finished the day with a #moon and a fiery #sunset! Y porque no? Una #selfie I’m our oak woodlands after finishing a very busy but rewarding week! #ecology #nature #outdoors #california #bayarea #sfba #wild #wilderness #biology #science #valleyoak #weekend

And as I was leaving my office this was the #sunset just outside our #fieldsation front door! #sfba #califonia #bayarea #valleyoaks

I have more meetings in this new job but I am still walking around the #preserve in the mornings & afternoons to never forget why I am in the work of #ecology, #conservation & improving access to careers in the outdoors! Today I saw a #coyote & a great afternoon sky! #sfba #bayarea #fieldstation #california
