The Velvet Foot Mushroom (pictured here) is a unique brand only because of its endurance to cold weather. In fact,
the Velvet Foot can be found from late September until the early weeks of March. It has a sticky brown cap with beautiful golden gills. These mushrooms
can be dried in open air until they blacken and then stored in a tight fitting Mason Jar which should be kept, not in the fridge, but in
the cupboard where they will last for quite a while. Reconstitute them in a light spray of water and they come back to life
within hours. Along with these fantastic fungi we will be searching for Grey Trichs, Fall Oysters, Pear Shaped Puffballs and more.

It's sometimes haunting to step through a fairy ring and realize that nearly perfect circle of mushrooms
was created by the brilliance of mycelium laying just beneath forest floor. But there they are, under the Conifers, ready to be picked.
Mushrooms such as Blewits, Lepista Irina and Lactarius Deliciosus. Blue, White and Orange. We will be searching for these along with Fall Oysters
and Velvet Foot.
