Woodland Wildlife in an Oak Grove

This peaceful forest scene shows a stag with large antlers standing among the trees of an oak grove. On the ground near the base of the oak trees, a cluster of yellow knight mushrooms grows from the woodland soil. The mature oak canopy provides shelter and shade for both wild animals and forest fungi.

Facts About Deer Antlers and Knight Mushrooms

Male deer shed and regrow their antlers every single year, with new antlers growing under a soft layer of skin called velvet. Knight mushrooms, also known as yellow knight fungi, often grow under pine and oak trees in sandy soils during autumn. Oak trees live for hundreds of years and support thousands of different insect, bird, mammal, and mushroom species.
