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.
Happy new year
A newborn year unwritten untold Feel the joy write new words tell new stories Happy new year!

December feeling
Into the woods a cold day in December the old trees covered with white frost Feels just like walking into a fairy tale acknowledging the beauty of winter and the good vibes of Christmas
Water
Water is an amazing element
turning into beautiful crystals and frozen droplets
decorating the dead leaves and plants in the forest
and giving them new life and beauty
during the cold winter season.
It is a wonderful thing that snow crystals
floating slowly through the air
is the element water
frozen into perfectly shaped stars and flowers
each and everyone different from each other.
Silent season
Winter is beautiful.
The landscape and the forest is covered in snow making patterns you haven’t seen before. A chaotic but systematic pattern sprinkled with golden leaves, just to amaze you.
Winter is the silent, colorless and dark season. Different from the colorful and noisy autumn.
Nature now rests until spring arrive.
Natural styling
Orange mini mushroom brighten up the green moss like a little gem in the old fairytale forest. Nature is the forest´s perfect stylist.
Winter – not yet
It is November and still the winter hasn’t arrived here in Norway. In this time of the year we use to have temperatures below zero and it is time for snow. But we still have a rather warm autumn and in the forest there still grows mushrooms.
On Friday when I went for a walk it was 13 C and the sun was shining. It was a wonderful day. I went to a view point in mye neighborhood, the first photo. The mushroom on the second photo is beautiful even though it is getting old and fading very soon. I am not sure what type it is and if it is edible, but it could be Hygrophorus hypothejus also known as “herald of the winter”.
Sunny forest details
Autumn is my favorite time of the year in many ways:
- The temperature is very nice (not too hot)
- The air is crisp and fresh
- The sun is much lower in the sky = good light for forest photograpy
- Mushrooms
- Multicolored leaves
- Beautiful decay of flowers and plants
On some of my walks I find a lot of mushrooms, in other walks I can spot different forest details. Especially when the sun is shining a photo safari in the woods can be very interesting when it comes to light and colors.
