Looking carefully at the forest floor I see that the turkey tail fungus seems to like all the dead woody debris.
A pumpkin spider looks for food among the dead leaves.
A box turtle shell poses a mystery? The turtle is long gone, maybe eaten by a fox or raccoon? It's shell looks as if it has been recently nibbled. Perhaps by a rodent that saw it as a good tool for sharpening its teeth? It's too bad the sun sets so early now because I could walk for endlessly in these woods.
Hmm..well I did bring a flashlight...
