Autumn-into-winter conifer duff moisture; notably frost-tolerant, so fruiting persists through cold snaps.

Tread lightly

The mushroom is only the fruit, but raking the duff to find them tears the mycelial mat that fruits year after year. Cut what's up, leave the ground undisturbed, and never strip a patch.

The read

Teeth instead of gills; sweet, crisp, and notably frost-resistant.
