We met the dor beetle when it eyed a deadly webcap cap from the cap of another deadly webcap.
We too started to study the mushroom forest as a dor beetle would. And how fascinating it all turned out! The trio of rufous milkcaps suddenly changed into a bus stop shelter. Interesting: who might be the bus for a dor beetle?
The forest floor with fly agarics was like a beach with sun parasols. It was a quite sandy hillock, but all the same a magic mushroom forest.
The chanterelle is our mushroom classic. Domestic warmth, a taste of home. We saw that the dor beetle tried to bury mushrooms in the soil for its offspring too. So probably mushrooms are something home-like, something permanent for the dor beetle too.
There are already 180 species in the mushroom exhibition. Mushroom enthusiasts, hurry! Even remembering 84 mushroom species is troublesome. With 180, hours must be spent in the Rõuge Rahvamaja. Start in the morning
