This tree (a Japanese pagoda tree, per NYC Tree Map) on First Avenue between 10th and 11th chose the first hard frost Thursday night to drop the bulk of its leaves onto the sidewalk and bike path.
The mycorrhizal fungi underground, however, are still doing their thing — transporting and communicating as they will into next spring, when the vetch bloom.

Hooray for the fungus amung-us!
I feel better anytime I’m made aware of the abundant life in the city other than just the masses on the street.
