Winter fungus

In Norway the mushroom season mainly last from July to October. But there are mushrooms to be found during winter too. Now, in January you can find edible mushrooms in the forest. Flammulina velutipes, winter fungus, grows on dead trees and looks quite beautiful growing together with green moss. Some trees are fully covered with this mushroom. It is fantastic to see that a dead tree can give new life to edible mushrooms year after year.
