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.

WARNING permaculture is highly addictive, it may cause life altering changes such as valuing people, community and resources, and promote respect, learning, support and kindness .

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.

There actually appeared to be three different sorts of fungi on this coppiced Alder tree trunk that didn't grow back; brown ones at the top, bright green ones and some frilly ones with almost reflective white edges. The bright green one was rather gorgeous!

Here's some photos of some Oregon Bellybutton Hedgehog (Hydnum oregonense) mushrooms I harvested on a recent foray. They are sometimes abundant from December-February in western Oregon in older, wet forests under Evergreen Huckleberry, Western Red Cedar, Western Hemlock and Douglas-fir. They are almost always found near Yellow-Foot Chanterelles, another choice edible.
