First habitat mushroom photo of the year


The photo of pale brittlestem Psathyrella candolleana from this year, walking home I noticed the fresh fruiting bodies in a small pile of leaves. Despite the fact that it is a common fungus, I was pleased because the reacted to the mild spring weather, so it was not a fungal-mummy. The first week of the year is a very mild one in Hungary. For those who don't notice this and still deny climate change, it will be a very traumatic experience when the world changes for good.
I'm thinking about the mushroom season, watching the soil moisture and waiting for the cold snap again, because the morels (the article I linked is in Hungarian.) need the moisture and the cold effect to start growing quickly from March. The frosty weather of the second week is due to the polar vortex disturbance. It looks like the rest of January will be normal winter weather. It would be nice if there was snow, because snow cover is beneficial in many ways.
