Foggy forest VS Misty woods, which is better?

I'm currently trying to describe a place which is both foggy and has lots of trees.
I have not decided on which one to use yet since I'm trying to come up with other alternative terms to describe the place.

If you had the choice between foggy forest and misty woods, which one would you pick?
And if anyone has alternatives, please share them. I got one, which is 'Shrouded', but don't think it works really well.

 

If you want the name to be more accurate, foggy forest is the way to go, though I don't like it as much as misty woods (or misty wood). I actually vote on a different name altogether. Is this forest known to be creepy or haunted? Can you give us a little more detail, like how people in the story might describe it? Do you want the name to imply that there's little visibility in it, or is a name not related to that fine?

Maybe:
the White Forest/Woods
the Forest of Ghosts
the Forest of Death
the Forest of Secrets
the Woods/Forest of Hidden Paths
the Woods/Forest of Lost Souls
the Woods of White Gravy (yum!)

 

Oh, I misinterpreted the title of this post. My bad...

Hope that helps!

 

I second this.

 

Would not deciduous desolation be...desolate? I can't see how this works.

 

neither.

If you're after atmosphere, expand the thing into a short paragraph and really play with the feeling in the woods.

- Colonnade of trees reduced to shadow
- the haze licked at my feet
- blindness is white, for I could see nothing but fog

^just a few examples. You need to link stuff like that into sentences and spin that into a paragraph. Give the reader a feeling of the cold and fog. Of course though this depends on whether you want this particular aspect of the scene to be important or if it were just a throw-away comment in the narrative.

But between the two, I'd go for misty woods.

Foggy forest sounds like a really, really bad attempt at alliteration. It could work in the right sentence, I'm sure, but as a stand alone like that? Nah. Fogy forest sounds harmless, probably because of just how the word "foggy" sounds. "Misty woods" has at least an air of mystery attached to it.

 

I don't see anything wrong with "the forest was shrouded in a thick mist." Or you could say the forest was blanketed in a soft fog or something like that.
