Hedgies

The first Hedgehog mushrooms (Hydnum repandum) I've seen this season. Perfect examples too. Hedgehogs are distinct in having spines instead of gills or pores, they along with the mushrooms recognizable flesh/salmon pink cap make them easy to identify. Hence they're considered a safe mushroom for the novice forager. Still, always be 100% sure.
