One of the mushrooms that appears to have done really well throughout this peculiar fungi season is the Hedgehog (Hydnum repandum). I've seen hedgehog mushrooms where ever we've walked for months now, and it good numbers too. Hedgies are on my edible good list for a couple of reasons; firstly they're edible good and suffer cooking well, secondly they're not easily misidentified due to their distinctive nature. I like that. Unusually Hedgehog mushrooms don't have gills or sponge rather spines, hence the mushrooms' name, they also don't vary much from their creamy salmon pink colour. There are a handful of others in the Hydnellum family, and although these differ noticeably from the Hedgehog mushroom care should always be taken to check every metric.
