Most of the last 20 years or so, I have enjoyed a white snowy Christmas, this year, in contrast, we are celebrating a marine, mossy and fungally rich one. This morning we were first gifted by the sound of sea lions bellowing, followed by 3 orcas breaching and then humpback whales hunting for fish just off the coast of Galiano, what a great morning! Our fungal highlight was relatively abundant hedgehog mushrooms that will soon be featured at our feast. I wish all my friends a happy and peaceful Christmas or alternatively whatever else you choose to celebrate!
