This beaver and its family have been cutting down trees near my pond for almost a year. Recently, they have increased their cutting rate.

I planted these bushes for their delicious fruit in early summer. The autumn color is a delightful bonus.

Hericium erinaceus - lion's mane fungus
Hericium erinaceus, commonly known as lion's mane, yamabushitake, bearded tooth fungus, or bearded hedgehog,[1][2] is a species of tooth fungus. It tends to grow in a single clump with dangling spines longer than 1 centimetre (1⁄2 inch). It can be mistaken for other Hericium species that grow in the same areas. (from Wikipedia)
