Actually, Radagast is mentioned in FOTR (book). The moth that came to Gandalf at Orthanc in FOTR (movie) is a nod to Radagast.

yes, when I said mentioned in "main story", I was of course, referring to LotR, but ambiguity duly noted.

while you COULD draw that conclusion, I wouldn't go that far really, Gandalf is known, on his own, as a woodsman and reknown loremaster of all creatures of Middle Earth, talking to creatures, esp, horses, eagles/birds, bear-men, and even moths, is second nature for him.

Some people believe it was Radagast himself. Either way, the moth was a non canon element. Radagast mentioned he had messengers in the book, so you could also make that assumption.
