Hygrophorus hypothejus
- ... that the herald of the winter appears with the first frosts?
5x expanded by Casliber (talk). Self-nominated at 12:04, 22 October 2015 (UTC).
Sufficiently expanded, meets core content policies. But the article says that its color becomes more intense at first frost, implying that it shows up before then. Perhaps one of these is hookier any anyway, playing on the notion that people will think that the "herald of the winter" is a mythological figure or something (needless to say, they'd do better without the picture):- ALT1: ... that the herald of the winter is highly slimy?
- ALT2: ... that the herald of the winter is edible?
- ALT3: ... that while the herald of the winter is edible, eating it is not recommended, as it is highly slimy? --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 19:02, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
- (belatedly)...errr...could go with any of those I guess...or add an "around" as in "around the time of first frost", for first hook. Will see what others think. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 05:29, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
