A small version of hure blanche, a type of brawn combining boar or pig’s head, cured fore hock and skin.
Hedgehog fungus. Cream-coloured mushrooms, excellent to eat, easily found in woods from late summer to late autumn (US: fall). They have a sort of downy white stem leading up to a cap which is centrally depressed and under which are masses of little spines, giving the mushroom its English name. It is quite a good mushroom to collect as it is easily distinguished from other mushrooms, is a relative of the chanterelle, and, like it, has good flavour and good retention of texture on long cooking.
Scaly tooth mushroom or tiled hydnum, an edible fungus with a slightly bitter aftertaste.
