Many mushrooms are extremely colorful. One hypothesis is that the colors serve as a warning to prevent animals from eating mushrooms, much like the bright yellow and black stripes on wasps help to deter potential predators. Design an experiment capable of testing this hypothesis.Collect a large array of colorful mushrooms that are poisonous; also capture mushroom-eating animals, such as squirrels. Present a hungry squirrel with a choice of mushrooms that have been dyed or painted a drab color versus others treated with a solution that is identical to the dye or paint used but uncolored. Record which mushrooms the squirrel eats. Repeat the test with many squirrels and many mushrooms.
