Hi all,
             Last fall, at the fungi foray at the Chanterelle Inn in  
Cape Breton we came across a very large
Leccinum aurantiacum, well past it's prime that was infested with  
these carrion beetles. At first the beetles were not to be seen, just  
a writhing mushroom. But then after nudging it with a stick, they  
poured out (must have been fifty of them) and in three seconds flat  
they had all disappeared underground. They
didn't seem to be moving that fast, but in jig-time they were out of  
sight, almost leaving us wondering if we had really seen them at all.

K.
