On my walk today, I found a beautiful, vivid red mushroom—the first I’ve ever seen on this path!
I snapped a quick picture, but immediately noticed a chunk had clearly been bitten out. Who was the forest bandit? A squirrel? A mysterious woodland creature?
I walked the same path later with the girls, and when we got to the spot, the culprit was right there, caught red-handed (or perhaps, slimed-and-fed)!
It was a tiny, brazen slug, absolutely feasting on the side of the red beauty.
The girls and I practically shouted “There it is!” at the same time, laughing our heads off.
Mystery solved!
This second photo, with the little bandit on its prize, is definitely a keeper. 😂
Mindful Miles
