I just learned a new term today: "Nurse log". There isn't any such unique term in Icelandic, as far as I know. #Nature #Flora #Trees #Environment #Forests #NurseLog naturesdepths.com/nurse-logs/

د طبیعت د ژوند دوره 🌱🌳 د تخریب ښکلا په غاړه واخله! 🍂✨ شاهد ونې چې په سقوط شوي جنات باندې وده کوي، د تخریب په مینځ کې د نوي ژوند پالنه کوي. 🌿🌳🪵 #NurseLog #EcologicalFacilitation #MotherNature #LifeRenewal #Treecycle #NewGrowth #NatureMiracle #TreeOfLife 🌿🌳

Dacrymyces palmatus on a Sitka spruce log. Looks a lot like Tremella mesenterica, which grows on hardwood logs. Questionable edibility, but pretty! #mushrooms #fungus #fungi #detritivores #nurselog #decay #mycology #ecology #PNW #PacificNorthwest #forest

#MaplesOfMyrtleRidge This downed pine acts as a #NurseLog for a #RedMaple seedling. There is plenty of #Nature Myrtle Ridge DGC. Come on out to enjoy!

May everyone be okay and another ordinary day tomorrow. ご無事で、明日も平凡な日でありますように🌛🌲 #thicktrunkthursday #nurselog
