Do mushrooms get crabs?

Ok... has anyone seen or heard of this? I found this Inocybe (I think) in the grass about 4-6' away from a seawall. I picked it up and noticed, what looks like, a freakin crab claw slightly poking out from inside the cap!!! I put it on my truck and took a couple pics, grab a knife and started dissecting... I got the cap off but then the home owner came out so I walked over to her real fast. Ive had some issues with picking mushrooms at my customers houses as of late....
So, when I was done talking to her, I walked back over to finish trying To Expose The Suspect But He Was Already Gone! What the hell.... now im not 100% sure it was a crab but it looks just like a crap claw and the cap was definitely big enough for a small crab.... does anyone have any suggestions or maybe know for sure???

Sounds like a Blue land crab (Cardisoma guanhumi).
edit: wait it was inside the mushroom??? That's weird and awesome.

Haha, yeah, INSIDE! I had no idea they did that. What would be the reason for it? Are they eating it?? Craziest thing I've found in a mushroom!

Is that crab species to what you saw? I would assume whatever you saw was using the mushroom as a food source or....exploring? I dunno

Looks like Earwig pincers to me. I don't think it's a crab.

Hmmm, Anisolabis maritima (Maritime Earwig) sounds like a good candidate. Thanks. I guess that makes more sense than a crab

Yes they do.
I can verify that many shrooms I have found have lice/crabs/pubic lice in them,
I eat them without hesitation when this occurs.
