My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Squirrel Eating Mushrooms

16 years ago

This .. I know is an odd question and I couldn't figure out exactly which forum was the most appropriate to post it to so-o-o .. "You Won"! 8)

A lot of folks DO look upon squirrels as a pest but I kinda get a kick out of watching them.

I have never seen a squirrel eat a back-yard mushroom .. until today!

I don't know what kind of mushroom this would be but I guess that it is the typical, growing over buried, dead wood type that grows in forested areas. (my home is in a 'forest')

I walked around looking for a 'dead squirrel' a few hours after I saw what he was eating but .. no carcases!?

Is this normal .. for squirrels to eat mushrooms?

Will I be picking up dead squirrels .. maybe tomorrow?

Thanks

JM
