      That was one of my thoughts, too. When I went back the next day to check the cap and also collect a spore print an animal, probably a bear, had eaten both of the mushrooms except the stems. Posted 5 years ago

        Aw, bummer! Well, glad the animal got a meal, at least. Posted 5 years ago

          I went back to the spot again today hoping more mushrooms had come up but none had. This is probably Boletus edulis though. Posted 5 years ago

            The forest creatures are probably keeping an eye on this spot too ;). Posted 5 years ago

              True! I noticed today that many mushrooms from boletes to Lactarius were being eaten by some animals. Posted 5 years ago

              Could be the Yeti. Some people around here claim to have seen him. Posted 5 years ago

                Nahh, those are just guys that have grown their beards out during quarantine ;). Although, if I were a sasquatch, I imagine mushrooms would definitely be on the menu. Posted 5 years ago
