several individuals found on the gills of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus).
it's my second time finding this beetle associated with this fungus (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/167610936). I guess they have good taste!
V cana based on location. Yes according to beetle channel of iNat discord. Could I please get a confirmation?
Legs were crimson to orangey in color. Body was almost as if it was black with iridescent gold? Maybe structural color?
He was just a totally random insect crossing the sidewalk and I didn't wanna step on him. Wish I had my better cam and better light
