ppine, my ranch is in Northwestern Indiana near Michigan City. It is a horse ranch of 50 acres about half of which is wooded. It has the highest and lowest ground in the area with variances of about a hundred feet. The timber is mostly Sugar Maple but there is also Elm, Oak, Hickory, Cherry, Tulip, Birch, Sassafras, Aspen, Boxelder, Osage, Willow, Black Locust, Catalpa. and Giant Sumach. Recently I found a Birdseye Maple. I have conifers but only the one's I planted.
The ground is clay but the woods has a thick humous layer and a resultant cornucopia of plants and mushrooms. Of course, the puffballs grow in the field where the horses have been.
