Sketchbook page with 1 large illustration and 2 small ones on the side. The large illustration shows a ghost deer running through a snowy field under a pink moon. There’s some tall trees on the right side the image. The other two small drawings on the side of the page are a pinecone and a white bellflower

Watercolour painting of a person happily snuggling a huge snake-like creature that's partially wrapped around tyngden.  The person has short brown hair and is wearing a loose white shirt tucked into brown shorts, as well as brown boots. The snake creatures shifts in tones of blue and purple and has branch-like antlers and a tail that also ends in branches. Pink and purple flowers and buds grow on the branches and all over the snake's body

Shingled Hedgehog (Sarcodon imbricatus), found this one in abundance this summer/autumn. A pretty good mushroom for stews, I dried a lot of what I picked and use it as seasoning. The bigger the more bitter the taste, so these should be picked when small!

Chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius), the golden child! One of my favourite ways to eat chanterelles is on homemade pizza or just simply fried in butter with garlic, salt and pepper on some toast

Lurid Bolete (Suillellus luridus), same with this one, fried it for a long time on medium-low heat because unlike the rest of the mushrooms in this post this one will very much upset your stomach unless cooked properly

St George's mushroom (Calocybe Gambosa), first time for me! So just fried it up in just butter with some salt and pepper, tasted kind of like fried flour. This is one of the earliest edible mushrooms to show up in the spring

it could possibly be confused with Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus Sulphureus), but Orange Polypore is not edible and should be left alone due to it's endangered status

in sweden it is classified as critically endangered and has a protected status (fridlyst)

it can be found in north america and asia but is mainly spread throughout europe. unfortunately due to the felling of its main host trees, oak and chestnut, during the past couple centuries it has been declining in population

the Orange Polypore causes white rot in deciduous trees, but requires a woodland rich in old-growth oak and chestnut forests to be sustained. in young woodland there's just not enough dead wood debris for spores to be able to establish

it needs well drained and nutrient rich soil in open spruce forests with rivers and streams, a habitat under threath by extensive logging and clear-cutting of the forests in its native range. it cannot thrive or even survive in a forest that is clear-cut

increasingly threathened by habitat loss, being classified as extinct from three countries (germany, slovakia and lithuania) and on the red-list of threathened species in many countries, including sweden where it is classified as vulnerable and has a protected status (fridlyst)

it is found mostly in northern europe, especially a little more common in sweden around the lake mΓ€laren, but can be found in some other parts of europe as well as very few parts of north america, like the great lakes region

Witches Cauldron (Sarcosoma globosum), also sometimes called Charred-pancake Cup is a rare mushroom. In swedish it's called Bombmurkla, which translates to "Bomb morel" and if I could launch this like a bomb so it would explode in population I would!
