The Taiga, also known as the Boreal Forest, is that belt of forest that encircles the northern hemisphere at roughly between 50 and 60 degrees north latitude.
 

But overall, while there are many stands that are exclusively evergreen or deciduous, most of the northern forest is of mixed woods.   As these photos attempt to illustrate.

Kona, Hi, may have spectacular sunsets but Alaska boasts unrivaled sunrises.  And in the winter months you don't have to get up early to catch them.  This photo was taken at 9:00 a.m.

Most of the evergreens found in Alaska are a species of spruce.  These species readily hybridize among themselves.  Here a hybrid black/white spruce is backlit by a magnificent sunrise.

Summer in Alaska is nothing short of enchanting.  This photo was taken at 8:00 at night.  The evergreens are black spruce, interspersed with white birch.  Mossy groundcover.  This is a 'transitional' area between a mixed woods forest and a bog.

The ground cover in mixed woods consists of ferns here intermingled in a thick growth of fruiting dwarf dogwood.
 
 

I have to apologize for the darkness of this photo.  The actual photo is beautiful, but it came out dark after scanning.  Any hints are graciously welcomed.   To email me

Dward Dogwood produces lovely colors after the first frosts and the berries have gone.  The ferns are still summer vibrant.

Alaska has to its credit a myriad of mushroom forms.  The particularly beautiful fungi, presented here,  are of the Fly Agaric family.  They provide fabulous colour to the forest floor from late summer to late fall.

The mushroom that we see is actually the fruiting body of the actual parent which is underground. 

Photo #1 shows a young bud whose cap is not yet unfurled.  The #2 photo shows a cluster of mushrooms, no doubt all of the same parent, in various stages of growth.  The frilly looking little skirt around the stem of the closest one is known as the sheath.
