I visited a burned forest last spring, hoping to catch this phenomenon. I had been scouring the newspapers for news about small forest fires; since I live in one of the soggiest places on earth outside the tropics it doesn't happen a lot.

Didn't find any, but maybe it was too fresh (fire was in January I think, I visited late in spring). Did take some pictures. It will be interesting to compare them to what it looks like today, I plan to go there again when morel season starts. Fire ecology is fascinating in its own right... but morels, man.
