A senior, tortie cat is lounging on a white towel with her head, in profile, looking to the right. Her two front paws are relaxed and crossed to her side, though I have no idea which is her left and right! Most of the rest of her body is not in the photo. Though the fur on her head, face and cheeks are somewhat thinned out, she still is very fluffy! Her colors are multiple shades of brown and a little white that has aged to gray, here and there. She has one prominent white whisker while the others fade in with the rest of her.

@Paul_Jackson What’s funny is you can read this from both points of view. I initially did it from Captain Jack’s. 😺

With the poison ivy leaves out of the way, I was able to get back to the Varnish Shelf mushrooms to log a final photo of this year’s life cycle.

This photo was taken 5 ½ months after the initial photo in this series. It shows the trunk of a hemlock tree with 6 plate like mushrooms growing out of the bark, some at eye level, some knee and ankle level. They are dark maroon and tan, cracked and slightly droopy, their attachment points weakened on the tree. At the base of the tree are autumn leaves and bright green moss.

# orderedItems[].object.attachment[].name
Same tree and mushrooms from the first photo but now it is 9 days later and the mushrooms have flattened and doubled in size. Less blubby and more plate like. The previous golden yellow has darkened to caramel brown and the white edges have yellowed. The bottoms are still white.

Seven large, flat shelf mushrooms growing out of a standing, dead hemlock. The largest is bigger than my outstretched hand. The tops of the mushrooms and where they attach to the tree are amber brown and they lighten as they get closer to the edge with yellow being the final color. At the base of the tree is a bright green carpet of moss. In the background are green shrubs, ground cover and larger trees.

Closeup of the bottom 5 feet of a hemlock tree with 7 round to blubby polypore mushrooms fruiting out from the bark. The young, tender mushrooms are golden yellow on top and white on the edges and bottom. The tree is in the forest with moss as its base and other trees in the background. The bark of the tree is darkened with rain.

@chrisnelsonsdog Oh, so this is what a “mushroom identification key” is… 😊 (You knew someone was going to say it, so there it is.)

@maxcooperavl I’ve noticed that they tend to track prey and when they come to a dead end they hurriedly backtrack to the previous spot.

It also could be the camera but normally they don’t pay it much mind. The deer are super aware of it but most of the other wildlife just go about their business.

15 second nighttime trailcam video starting with a canine figure with glowing eyes sniffing the ground straight ahead of the camera. It walks forward obviously interested in something. As it gets closer you can make out that this is a coyote. It slows its pace and looks around hesitantly. Just as it begins to perhaps pursue something to the side, it stops nervously, then turns around and scampers away back to the direction it first came.
