Post date: Nov 17, 2011 9:43:23 PM

Well, there's no doubt we've had the first frosts, so this month's focus for recording is Hygrophorus hypothejus - aptly named 'Herald of Winter'. Look out for an olive brownish cap with a darker centre and a glutinous surface texture under conifers. Lots more information on it's Species Profile page and remember to let us know if you find it!
