It's got something to do with the natural cycle these species go throuh. Fruiting simply doesn't follow Winter, even if the temperatures are right, at least not in most cool and moderate climate mushroom species. The fungal organism needs to go through a phase where it finds new sources of nutrients (e.g. colonizes the neighboring decaying grass roots for P. semilanceata, etc.) and then through a phase where it stabilizes itself before it eventually enters fruiting mode after several warm months.

Take the cool climate wood loving species for example. During the Winter months the organism is more or less completely dormant and mycelial growth is stunted to a complete halt. Then, when Winter is over and the ground and its substrate isn't frozen anymore, the mycelial network will "come back to life" and start conquering its habitat again. The main mycelial growth takes place when temperatures are between 20° and 30° Celsius. Spring and Summer. Then when Fall comes, it will have found new sources of nutrients and thus energy and fruiting will be triggered by the temperatures cooling down and high ambient humidity.

Could you give me a short description, I done some research but I want to be safe

The color of dried out P. cinctulus mushrooms can be almost white.
