Is that a larch tree? If you ever need to sleep out in the woods, look for larches. The thick layer of needles underneath them should not only provide you with a (relatively) soft "mattress", but it should also be 100% tick-free, as opposed to patches of tall grass and, in particular, blueberries (which are like tick hotels). Just so you know

yes, it is a larch tree (lerke). there are quite a few of them in these parts - also in people's yards/gardens.
i don't think i would attempt sleeping in the woods here - it's too soggy for my taste, even in the summer.
i know that there is a particular type of mushroom that grows under such trees (lerkesopp) - so my associations are on the whole positive

What makes a lerkesopp induce positive associations? Does it look happy? According to wikipedia they'r extremely rare here in NL, which might help explain a general sense of unease

it is not the particular type of mushroom. it is a fuzzy positive association from my childhood - from mushroom picking tours with my family.

We used to go pick chanterelles. My memories about it are fairly neutral. I can mostly recall the "elders" complaining about how they would come home with a bucket full within and hour, and now they had to search for hours to find more than a few handfuls. And since back then no one had ever heard of air pollution, eutrophication and acid rain, the blame was simply shoved onto the Germans
