Today is day 14 of #30DaysWild and during their #hedgewatch in the #forest our humans found this We think this is the perfect presentation of the #CircleOfLife . Mushrooms settled on an old #treetrunk

Sticking out.

The image shows the base of a tree trunk in a forest setting. The ground is covered with fallen leaves, and the tree's bark appears smooth with some horizontal markings or bands. Other tree trunks are visible in the background. The scene is lit by natural daylight.

Gnarly Tree Trunk.

A colorful tree stump sprouts new branches and leaves, symbolizing renewal and growth. Fungi are visible on the stump, as is some ivy, adding texture and interest.

I like the sedum (I think it is Sedum sarmentosum, stringy stonecrop) that grows around a big oak tree by our house. It's vibrant after some recent rain.
