Oct.28 see journal
Oct.29 5 km S. Barilcho. Soft a specimen in a large live trap overnight with 1 dandelion flower, a 3/4" deuteropuffball or mushroom, and a igellanishi - brown toadstool.
In the morning, the dandelion and the puffball were gone.
In another trap, 1 dandelion, 1 toadstool, and 1 morel-shaped mushroom. In the morning the dandelion was gone, part of the toadstool, I think, and the morel was shredded and probably part of it eaten. Released these two at same place as on Oct.28 with similar reactions.
Nov.3 S of Rio Veranda, a captive eagerly ate earthworms, grubs, refused dandelion flower & leaf, liked appleskins and mouse leg. Ignored 2 kinds of root fungi and small toadstools.
Nov.4 Dumped 3 mole longs and 1 mole olivaceus into a bucket.
They acted quite friendly & snugly, and showed a great interest in the olivaceus, sniffing its rear site. Also longs ate cheese readily, ignored our two kinds of tiny root fungi.
Nov.9 Several caught [illegible] during daytime (Rio Carmona Cueva)
Nov.29 Sago Hermoso, Neuquen, a captive also longs loved the soft succuligious middle of a large soft blew-blew pulped off of a fine. He did not eat, however, the outer part with the orange capsule, and he did not start on a smaller, firmer, intact bleu-blew.
