On a walk with my dog, I stumbled upon this fun little snow covered fungi!

Goodness Timothy, I wonder does it go into some kind of hibernation through winter then regrow in spring.
Or will it be dead and break off. I've never seen fungi in snow like that before.
The things you come across when walking a dog :-) Great pic.

Recently I've been harvesting and drying Candy Cap mushrooms (Lactarius rubidus) from my food forest- they seem to like the blueberry bushes, I'm guessing they have a mycorrhizal connection. Candy Caps smell exactly like maple syrup when you dry them and they make great cookies.
