It seems that fat taken from nuts of Japanese torreya were used for edible and lighting purposes. The nut itself will also be edible. I plan to pick it up in autumn when it ripens and falls. It seems not to be tasty, but it has rare value.

カヤの実 nuts of Japanese torreya
カヤの果実から取った脂は、食用や灯火用に使われたそうです。種そのものも、食用になるそうです。秋になって熟して落下した頃に、拾いにこようと思います。美味しくないそうですが、希少価値はあると思います。

キツネノカミソリ red heart lily
この法面は、ヒガンバナの群生する場所ですが、今は、キツネノカミソリが咲いていました。それぞれの花の咲く時期は少しズレますが、両方の花が同じ場所で咲くのでしょうか。来月、ヒガンバナがここで咲くか確かめたいと思います。
This slope is the place where red spider lilies grow in colonies, but now red heart lilies have been in bloom. Although the timing of each flower's blooming is slightly different, will both flowers bloom in the same place? Next month, I'd like to make sure if red spider lilies bloom here.

ウリボウ infant wild boar
今日、私は林道で猫くらいの大きさのウリボウと出会いました。幸いにして、親イノシシは現れませんでした。その少し後に、今度はニホンカモシカに出会いました。今日は私は幸運に恵まれました。とっさのことなので、写真に取ることはできませんでした。
Today, I met an infant wild boar of the size of a cat on a forest road. Fortunately, the parent wild boar did not appear. A little later, I came across the Japanese serow. Today I was blessed with good luck. It all happened instantaneously, so I couldn't take pictures.

キブシ stachyurus praecox
キブシの黄色い花が鈴なりに咲いているのを、春のはじめに見ますが、果実を見たという記憶がありません。今の時期に、この果実を見ているはずですが、印象に残らないようです。
果実は、黒色の染料として使われるようです。
I have seen yellow flowers of "stachyurus praecox" blooming in clusters several times at the beginning of spring, but I do not remember seeing its fruits. I should have seen this fruit in this period, but it seemed to not be impressive.
The fruits are used as black dye.

ボーベリア・バッシアーナ Beauveria bassiane
このカミキリムシは、菌類に寄生されたようです。全く動きません、そして節々が白くなっています。何処で胞子に接触したのかわかりませんが、運が悪かったのですね。
近年、化学薬剤の使用を抑えるため、菌類による害虫の駆除方法が研究されています。
A fungus seemed to be parasitic on a long-horned beetle. The insect did not move at all and its joints have become white. I don't know where it touched a spore, but it was unlucky.
Recently, an extermination method of harmful insects by fungi is studied to suppress the use of the chemical drug.

銀杏の実 gingko nut
台風の影響だったのか、沢山の銀杏の実が地面に落ちていますが、枝には沢山の実が残っています。
There are many gingko nuts on the ground. It may have fallen as a result of the typhoon, but many nuts are left on the branch.

シンジュ tree of heaven
線路際の道端に生えている木です。ウルシに似ているので、近くを通ると、かぶれはしないかと心配でした。ある人から、この木の名前は、ジンジュと教えていただきました。シンジュは、ウルシ属ではないので、かぶれることはありません。
英名は、 tree of heaven ですが、heaven(天国) のイメージはどう見ても無いと思います。どうやら、30m位まで背が高くなるので、天に届くという意味で、heaven(天国)という言葉が使われたようです。
This tree is growing on a roadside by a railway track. Whenever I passed close to this tree, I worried if I got a rash, because this tree resembled lacquer. Someone told me that this tree was named "tree of heaven". It is not a lacquer genus, so we will not get a rash.
The name of this tree is "tree of heaven", but I don't feel any images of heaven from this. This tree becomes tall and seems to reach 30m in height. So, the word, heaven, seemed to be used in a meaning to reach heaven.

山火事防止 prevention of forest fire
炎天下に、架線に接触する枝が切り払われていました。火災の原因になるからです。
In spite of the blazing sun, a power company lineman was lopping a branch which contacted a line, because the branch would cause a fire.
