  There's always things in all stages of youth and decay. Unless we get a stretch of really cold weather - under freezing -there will constantly be new fungi popping up and it will be possible to find cool things until it gets too warm next spring. It's been a bit wet recently so some of the more delicate species were pretty mushy.. Posted 8 years ago
