Field Notes

Description:

Fuzzy growth on the underside of the leaf. By early October, many of them had fallen off of the leaves and were lying loose on the ground.

Habitat:

White oak leaves in a mixed second-growth deciduous forest.

Notes:

I worked in this park for four years (2000-2003) and never saw these. This year they were everywhere!
