Today’s photographic selection will be of 6 photographs.
Date : 7 AUGUST 2024
The Photographs in this post are taken with my iPhone.
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are experiencing my adventures on this walk 💃🏻 to discover everything what I saw. Like the little details seen through my eyes, and discover all the mushrooms I found.

Let’s have a closer look at the coral mushrooms first:

They were growing out of the tree trunk that was laying on the forest floor.

I like their bright orange colour. They pop up between the green vegetation around us.

Next we have a look at the hedgehog mushrooms:

They were hidden under some thicker bushes. Did you know they are edible and delicious…? Frying them in the pan is so easy. I tried them for the first time last year when I found several on different hikes.
The hedgehog mushrooms are easily recognisable on the “teeth” under the cap, instead of gills. There are no poisonous mushrooms that look like the hedgehog mushrooms. Don’t take just my word for it: See the Wikipedia page below 👇🏻
Once you know them… you know them ;)

Have a read on the following Wikipedia page here - Hydnum repandum for more info.
It says;

”Hydnum repandum, commonly known as the sweet tooth, pig's trotter, wood hedgehog or hedgehog mushroom.”

It is an informative read, so don’t miss checking on this mushroom.
I will show you the coming 4 Fridays some more mushrooms I found during this very adventurous hike. So stay tuned… before we share new mushroom locations from around the world on my travels again.
