Also, Liz went to the park a few days ago and says the "winter trio” is in full force!
The Winter Trio:
Black Trumpet (Craterellus calicornucopioides): Dark, hollow, trumpet-shaped, with a rich, smoky, and woodsy flavor, often found near oaks and mossy areas.
Yellowfoot Chanterelle (Craterellus tubaeformis): Also called "tubies," with a hollow stalk (yellowish to brownish) and blunt ridges, excellent for pickling or sautéing.
Hedgehog Mushroom (Hydnum oregonense): Meaty with unique teeth-like spines on the underside instead of gills, offering a nutty flavor.
Where & When to Find Them:
Habitat: Primarily in Northern California's coastal forests, under conifers (pines, firs) and hardwoods like oaks, and tanoaks, after significant rain.
Season: Winter, especially during wet periods.
