I'll start from the end. This is an edible mushroom, but its flavor is limited, if not nonexistent.

But this mushroom has a completely different quality; it looks beautiful. If you manage to find its habitat, you can be sure of a beautiful aesthetic experience.

It grows in masses, practically winding its way up old branches, trunks, and thick twigs.

With discoveries like these, I struggle with which tag to put these beauties. I settled on "beautiful nature," as it seems to be the most versatile.

Fortunately, this mushroom can be confused with another edible mushroom, the flamulina. They are very similar, with the difference that the winter flame mushroom appears in winter and loves this time of year.

There is another species of mushroom very similar to the finch, or as some call it, the variable finch. It is the cluster buttermilk. Unfortunately, the cluster buttermilk is poisonous.
