Cassowary eating fungus

["Andrew Thelander" <>]

Hi
Adrian Walker of Mission Beach reports watching an adult female Cassowary 
picking a large orange bracket fungus off some timber in his garden and 
swallowing it whole.  The bird appeared to be in reasonable condition (whereas 
others are clearly showing signs of under-nourishment in the wake of Cyclone 
Larry).
Adrian also recently found a Cassowary dropping that appeared normal except for 
the fact that there were very few seeds in it.
Any mention of Cassowaries eating fungus in HANZAB?

Cheers
Andrew
