Banana for scale. I was a little late to the party as it looks like something munched on it.

Found beside our raised garden bed on Vancouver Island. Not sure species, any guesses from the experts out there?

This is my first photo posted on Lemmy so excuse the amateur effort.

Yeah, I'd guess it took the first test bite from the front right (hence the gills left intact) and then a more confident chomp from the left. Both are from an upper angle, and the teeth seem far too large for anything smaller that might nosh on rando fungi (raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, etc.), so your local blacktail are my bet. ๐Ÿค“

Chomp, nosh,.... Please do continue. I am immensely enjoying your use of words I haven't heard in a while. :)
