More mushrooms

I'm still finding lots of trumpets, but also some lovely hedgehog mushrooms, aka Hydnum Repandum.  They tend to occur in clusters and seem to glow with their cream and slightly peach blush.  They are small and somewhat fragile and hard to clean, but delicious nonetheless.  I think they taste a little like chanterelles.

You can see how these would be hard to spot.  The hedgehog mushroom, on the other hand is hard to miss because of it's color, though it is small, perhaps the largest of these is only 3" across.


The underside of the hedgehog mushroom has spines rather than gills, hence its name.
