Snowbank Mushroom
By: Melissa Peterman

About

Snowbank mushrooms are fungi that pop up in moist soil in high elevations as snow melts in the spring, particularly in Colorado, Utah and other Rocky Mountain states in the US. This is not a particular species of mushroom, rather a category of mushrooms. Some, such as Hygrophorus subalpinus A.H. Sm, are edible and available in markets in California and the Pacific Northwest.
