Hedgehog Mushrooms
Hedgehog mushrooms, also known as belly-button mushrooms, are found in the dense undergrowth under rhododendron bushes and other forest shrubbery. The cap is an inch or less in diameter and is depressed in the middle like a belly button. In French they are called pied de mouton or “sheep’s foot.” We are fortunate to have them from December, often until early spring.
