I found this Turkestan Cockroach nymph on a buried and decomposing mushroom cap, presumably eating it.

This Rove Beetle (top middle of pic 1) was on a piece of a Western Hardwood Shelf mushroom that had fallen to the ground. The mushroom was previously attached to the trunk of a watered Carob Tree. I just noticed its presence in the photos today.

These maggots were inside a mushroom, presumably eating it. A Whirligig Mite came along and started eating one of them. I was photographing the Mite and didn't see the tiny maggots at the time.
