Yesterday lunchtime I spotted a large toadstool on the back lawn. Recalling Nuthatch's trophy of a few days ago I took a pic - to wit and viz below .......
A short time later I looked out of the window to have a quick gloat and ..... !!!!!!! GORNE .......
Wishing to know the cause of the denied aforementioned gloat I googled for possible culprits - SQUIRRELS

I didn't know greys ate fungi - I do now

P.S.: The pix are the wrong way round but I can't be bothered .......

Had you grabbed the recipe book before Cyril grabbed the main ingredient?
At least you can enjoy looking at your photo and think about what could have been.

Mine disappeared the following day too, Placi

Cyril correct name for a squirrel, Jacksparrow not Bob

The week we were away the 'mushroom' grew back - I thought it was a ball and was going to throw it back over the fence:-







I think it grew a bit bigger this week - OH dug it up yesterday

Do squirrels eat fungi? The reason I ask is because most mornings we have one in the garden searching the grass and I wondered what for.

I think they do, johnd - look up 'Squirrels Eat Mushrooms' on YouTube.

When I see them here they are often digging holes in the grass burying peanuts or trying to find ones they've buried

Have a look at the very first posts on this topic, Johnd !! I now know that treerats most definitely DO eat fungi

Thank you. Funny enough I found nuts in my garden and I wondered where they came from.

I took this picture this morning. I have no idea what type this is or anything about it I am afraid.

Don't know what type, Johnd, but it's a beautiful photo.
