Week 3 Journal - El Palo Alto Park

This weekend I took a visit to El Palo Alto Park. It is a small little park right by the Stanford Mall. Although there was no water, usually the San Francisquito Creek runs through the park. I was able to find two lichen species and many plant species during my time there. I had no luck in finding any fungi, but that is most likely because of the lack of rain, not the location. One of the lichen species was found on top of a rock and the other along the metal part of a bridge. If I need more plant species for this project, I will probably go back to this location because there were so many plants that I didn't take pictures of. I think it would also be interesting to visit when the creek has some water in it.
