So that's where the mushrooms go

Such a poor quality photo, though I tried so hard to get even one photo that I could use. Looking up at the light in the dark woods just doesn't work with my little camera. However, I just HAD to post this, as proof of where some of the mushrooms that I search for disappear to, LOL. It just made me smile so much when I saw this little Red Squirrel high up in the tree, on Rod Handfield's acreage, nibbling around the edge of the mushroom cap. Apparently, squirrels do eat mushrooms (and plants, and bulbs), that may be poisonous to humans. This is due partly to their short digestive tract, which seems able to handle these compounds. Love the way his little hands are holding on to his precious meal.
