Squirrel Harvesting and Drying Mushrooms (Elk Island National Park)

I keep hearing about squirrels who dine on mushrooms and end up poisoning themselves. I've also heard that squirrels will dry out mushrooms and store them for the winter season by placing them in trees. While visiting Elk Island National Park this summer we noticed mushrooms. Tag along and see where they get stored. Have you seen this behavior in your forests? Have you seen intoxicated squirrels? Let me know in the comments!

Do squirrels dry mushrooms and eat them? That's amazing. 😮😮😮

[@NORMABRINKWORTH]

Hi Donna, sorry to be playing catch-up! How fascinating that squirrels can become intoxicated! Lovely footage ❤

[@IreneDowningNature]

Interesting to learn more about these little cuties my dear friend Donna, never knew they stored mushrooms to dry great footage you encountered of there ways. Enjoying seeing and learning more always Irene. 🌳🍄☀️🐿💛

I used to think that all squirrels do is bury the nuts stuffed in their cheek pouches in the ground. I was surprised that they leave their food on the tree, just like a shrike!🌳🍄🐿 Thank you for showing me some really interesting squirrel behavior.💓👍big like Nature is always unknown and wonderful💖💖Birth of a new friendship🙏

The squirrel has good taste. I just love seeing these wee animals. They are fast and cute. ❤

[@TravelingTramps]

Don't think I've ever seen any drunk squirrels or mushrooms hidden by them up in the tree's, Donna. But, I've been drunk myself and saw some Magic Mushrooms! 😁😁Purely research mind you. Enjoyed seeing the squirrel foraging. The mushroom stash too!

[@GENerationXplorers]

Hi Donna this was great beautifully shot! Seen a lot of mushrooms about but not randomly placed up trees will look out for that and intoxicated squirrels 😂 superb ❤️

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

This squirrel is so adorable! Love seeing him eat close up, your footage is incredible. Love your commentary Donna, wow the mushrooms! I haven’t seen an intoxicated squirrel, wow! I didn’t even know that was possible! Thanks for sharing Donna, I just learned something new!

[@SakunaSwonaChannel]

I like seeing squirrel if I pick mushroom I dry them too pack it store it very hard for me to know which mushroom is not poison🤔❤ 1:23

[@NaturesFairy]

I’ve never seen an intoxicated Squirrel but I have seen drunk birds that eat rotted crab apples. That’s truly fascinating about the mushrooms. Wow nature is so interesting. Have a wonderful weekend Donna

[@JenniferLupine]

Really interesting! I’ll keep an eye out for mushrooms in unusual places!! I think we’ll start to see more mushrooms once the rains start next month!! 😄👌👍👍

[@wildlifespotteruk]

Cute squirrel, thanks for sharing sister

[@NORMABRINKWORTH]

This is so interesting. I have never seen some of the mushrooms and flowers. I love the white one with the cluster in the center, and the Ghost Pipes. . It's very easy to image myself walking along those paths.

[@WeGoPlacesTours]

What a cute squirrel Donna. We don’t have ones like that down here. I might have seen an intoxicated squirrel….once at our bird feeder a squirrel came and as it was feeding it kept falling over…not sure what was happening. That was the only time I’ve ever seen that happen. Lovely video. 👍😊🇨🇦

[@skyvarious]

Nice vlog video friends 👍

[@myradioon]

Mushrooms have protein. I forage mushrooms and most of the edible ones have small bites out of them from squirrels, moles, chipmunks etc.

[@josiecabasisborlagdan7416]

shes so cute dear

[@MillersRailfan]

I’m going to report these squirrels to the environmental police !!!!! This activity is ILLEGAL in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts 😱😳

[@Lamoka54]

Mushrooms do not make squirrels intoxicated.
