Most mushrooms have a significant amount of seasonality in their fruiting schedule. For instance over the winter one is most likely to find mushrooms like the yellowfoot chanterelle, hedgehog, and some orange jelly fungi. Winter mushrooms are limited to mostly woody perennial species in areas that regularly freeze. Fortunately at low elevations the temperature remains fairly mild and one can find some interesting mushrooms throughout the winter.

Here are a few species you might encounter at low elevations in the winter
