Why Won't They Leave Them ALONE??

I hate when I find beautiful mushrooms…that are getting munched on by critters…even though? I love slugs and snails? I love them NOT on my flora!

The mushroom he’s about to chow down on is called an Orange-mat Coprinus…found with the orange ‘moss’.......always takes me a bit to ID these fellows? But this one was a bit obvious once i found the name.
These were found in Weston Bend State Park down in an area I call ‘Mushrooms Bottoms’.....a flood area right up from the Missouri River.
