Weather: Sunny
Time: 900-920 hours
Location: Next to the bridge near the Hatfield Library.

As I sit on a small grate next to the bridge, I notice a medium sized mushroom growing next to me. It has a brown top and a white stalk and gills. I haven’t seen any of these mushrooms anywhere else on campus so I was a bit confused as to why it was there- there didn’t seem to be anything special about that particular spot that would be especially conducive to growing mushrooms. There were also some medium sized bushes growing near me. They had large purple blooms and they also had very thick and shiny leaves.
