Oh, thank you, that makes sense - there is a little pies cormorant here. I just couldn’t imagine them snapping off the claws - I assumed they swallowed the yabby whole.

They're only edible with substantial processing, and are actually illegal to possess (in NSW at least, where I am), so not much point in collecting. Mildly toxic, containing muscimol, ibotenic acid and muscarine. They have psychoactive effects but make you quite ill!

The foragers are out gathering saffron milkcap and slippery jack, but leave these alone.

@donhe @ibaird I thought this was a spider too, but when I poked its head out I'm pretty sure it's a moth or beetle. In the first photo it's facing "west", with black face and we're looking at a dorsal view. The body is cream, with a black blob on top of each segment. I think 3 legs are visible, with the third leg pointing north-west. The legs are cream as well and it has shiny black/reddish socks.
