One year after the forest fire: A child's X-ray reveals new growth as the forest comes back to life. Common liverworts thrive amongst the ashes, their resilient forms blanketing the ground. Psathyrella mushrooms and Geopyxis elf-cup fungi emerge, their nutrient-rich caps nourishing the soil for future plant growth. Myxomphalia mushrooms add to the symbiotic web, decomposing dead wood and recycling nutrients. Mosses carpet the forest floor, their tenacious hold securing the soil and preventing erosion. Regrowth is a testament to nature's resilience, as new life springs forth from the ashes, proving that even after the fiercest of fires, the forest endures.
