The Golden View Trail near living area is a trail sandwiched man-made gardens. Humans hand-picked shrubbery, trees and plants to grow and beautify the area. That being said, I’ve observed fungi growth throughout the trail that was definitely not planted by anyone. My research project is observing the local fungi growth and how they are affected by human activity including walking, walking the dogs and construction nearby. Through the introduction of the fungi there have been more sightings of slugs near the area as they seem to be reliant on the fungi as a main food source. The potential keywords I would attribute to my research so far are:
-Pollution
-Human impact
-Fungi
-Decomposition
