Day 2. Flora field studies.

	The Vain Oak, Thick at the trunk's base, a sprawl of gnarled roots twist into one another, as the contaminated soil prevents the tree from fully taking root. This makes a great shelter for smaller wildlife to hide within, where their droppings provide a scarce amount of nutrients. From this, the tree produces fruit early in the summer, which is blood red in color and very sweet in both smell and taste. Just as the wildlife can get drunk on the fallen, fermented fruit, a common wine is made from this tree, baring a similar name.
	Trunk Cap, A commonplace fungus, notably found growing from felled trees and most forms of dead wood. These can be picked and cooked for their peculiar texture and flavor. Their typical brown coloration varies on the season in which they are picked. They are scarce in the spring and summer, yet very abundant in the middle of the fall season.
	Eucanlycthus Pitcher, A vile-smelling plant that attacks and devours low, ground-dwelling grubs as a primary foodsource. Yet, the plant itself is a key diet for other wildlife. The roots have a high nutritional value and grows nearly year-round, otherwise the roots can be dug up in the winter months. To most species, the plant itself smells not unlike rotten meat, and has a sour, astringent taste. Any portion of the plant needs to be boiled to be properly consumed.
	Peacock Weed, Much like a larger form of dandelion, only in hues of muted blue and violet. The bulb itself is considered edible, like a large peapod, before the bulb swells to a more prominent shade and grows wispy white hairs. Since they are found growing in most fields and open areas, some people tend to cultivate them. A diligent planter could produce upwards of either harvests a year if done right.
	Morninglory Hole, This rare plant is only found in areas of constant sunlight. They bloom quickly in the spring, and are present for most of the summer season, carrying into the remaining warmth of the fall. The pollen and pistil are located within the bulb, which serves to pollinate similar to a fig plant. They are a vivid hue of purple and are known to produce a crude form of opiate. This sticky, semi-sweet ichor is toxic in its unprocessed state, which lures pollinators in, but doesn't allow them to leave.

Day 3. Fauna field studies.

	Hrog, A mostly hairless herbivore with alternating patches of mange and scales. Generally the size of a rabbit, the legs are overdeveloped for leaping across large distances. They are generally found in groups, so to discover one is usually to imply several more nearby. This is complimented by the fact that they make for good eating in quantity.
	Thorn Stahg, A larger, hoofed herbivore that resembles a prewar deer. These creatures share an unusual genetic structure with saplings, which are also thought to be a parasitic growth. The 'horns' of this creature tend to grow throughout its life and typically beyond. If left unscavenged, the skull and body will eventually be drawn into the trunk of the tree over the course of decades. Their hooves also bear a mutuation that splits the toes in three directions.
	Pollinator, These small insects begin their lifecycle within the Morninglory Hole's bulb in the springtime. Within a few hours of direct sunlight, their transparant grublike forms harden into a exoskeleton, thereby allowing the insect to metamorphose into a proper flying insect, carrying with it the pollen from its birthplant. In between flowers, they typically live under the dead grasses of the past year and eat the leftover decay.
	Neech, A common ground grub that scavenges and consumes the dead. It is likewise attracted to the smell of necrotic flesh and is very tenacious in reaching the source. Fully developed adults possess the ability to leap in order to access food and avoid danger. However, they do not always survive the landing.
