Some people in my group think that Beaver Ecology was boring (Jacob, Noah, Bryce, Jack A, Jarod, Mira (me), Kelly, Kayla,and Kruthika. But, today I learned many things about beavers that really no one in my grade knows. I learned that beavers don't eat just any wood, but only the center of a tree. This is called lichen.

Most people don't know what lichen is, but I already but I already knew what it was from a Girl Scout camping trip. Lichen is a kind of moss. Lichen is made from algae and moss. This is what Miss Schechter said, "A good way to remember lichen is: Algae and moss took a lichen to each other." My group laughed at this.

For those people who don't know what lichen is, it is a light-green papery fungus that grows on trees.You may think that fungus isn't edible, but humans can eat lichen. Think about mushrooms. That's a fungus that humans can eat.
