moisture. They reproduce both sexually and asexually

of rocks.Is important to the environment because Grizzly bears like to eat Lady ferns as a major food
source. Elk will also eat it also. Native Americans had many uses for Lady
ferns. They used lady ferns for drying berries on, and covering food.Oil from the roots of Lady ferns has been used since the
1st century AD to get rid of worm but an overdose could cause weakness, coma, and
often blindness.

The Shagbark Hickory tree has an ashy gray bark similar to birch trees except
its bark separates into long strips, which give the trunk it's shaggy lookcan grow to about 100 feet tall.
The wood of this tree is strong and tough. The Shagbark has both male and
female flowers. Male flowers grow in bundles called catkins and female flowers
are in clusters called petallets.The Shagbark Hickory tree has long
taprooms which grow straight down into the ground to help the tree get extra
water if there is a drought. These roots will be helpful to the life of the
tree. The nuts of the Shagbark tree are also edible and humans
and squirrels both compete for these nuts.

The Tawny Milkcap Mushroom is edible and is a favorite of collectors. It is best eaten fresh because a
white "milk", or sticky latex, seeps out and turns brown when the gills are
cut, giving it the name Twany Milkcap. When they are young they have a darker, russet color, and
turn almost pale yellow as they get older. The gills are close together and are
almost white. They bruise easily and turn brown where you touch them.It belongs to the Fungi Kingdom, and like most fungi they are
decomposers. Because mushrooms don't have chlorophyll, and get their
nutrients in other ways,they don't need light to grow they produce spores between the gills which, when released,
find a moist area and germinate. The germinated spores sprout mycelia. The
mycelia grow quickly, searching for nutrients and water. When they find a good
place the begin reproducing, they make special reproductive cells which grow
into tiny mushrooms.Insects are attracted to mushrooms by their smell and
carry spores to different places. Animals, including people, eat mushrooms and
their spores.

The White Birch is a small to medium sized deciduous tree which grows to 70 or
80 feet in height. As far as trees go it doesn't live very long, only about 140
years. You can identify this tree by its white bark which peels easily and is marked
by narrow horizontal stripes. Porcupines like to eat the bark and rabbits will eat the
seedlings and young saplings. Yellow-bellied sapsuckers will peck little holes
in the bark and feed on the sap. Hummingbirds and squirrels also drink the sap
from the sap wells the sapsuckers made.The white birch is found in
Newfoundland, Labrador, Canada, and from New England to North Carolina in the
United States though now it prefers colder climates.

The White Oak tree can grow from 80 to 100 feet tall.The life span of the Oak tree, if undisturbed is 500 to 600 years old.
It can grow from seacoasts to high mountain slopes. It
also can grow from wet lowlands to dry mesas.
The Oak tree's seeds are commonly known as acorns, they are small oval
shaped nuts with a cap and they are mostly eaten by squirrels ,chipmunks and
deer. The white Oak tree is valued for its timber products.
The Oak tree also produces acorns which are a food source
for wildlife.The white Oak is the most common tree species of the
Eastern United States.

The pecan tree grows in North America.Most pecan trees like humid climates. The tree is a
member of the walnut family. The Pecan tree is the State tree of Texas.The bark on the pecan tree is rough and scaly, and is pale grey or brown.The pecan uses wind to pollinate.The pecan industry produces 250,000,000 lbs. of pecans a
year. Farmers harvest the nuts that have fallen off the tree. The nuts are not
directly picked off the tree, because only the nuts on the ground are edible,
and the ones on the trees are still growing
