So, apparently a week of temps as low as -8"C won't kill off a healthy patch of P. semilanceata.
After the weather turned back to rain and temps between 2 - 10"C, I headed out this morning and found a few
Don't you think they could have been frozen the whole time?
I saw a few libs last week on a lawn outside my work, spotted them from a window. They were just as black as yours. And that was just a couple of days after the snow melted. "Dead" but still standing up.

I came to think about this temperature thing, do you have springs in that area? The temperature being down to -8c kinda baffles me, but in case there would be groundwater rising and keeping the ground warm it wouldn't be that strange.

For a period of five days it was hardly over zero, just a few hours of +1 in the day. These are temperatures measured at the downtown weather station, which is just by the sea side. I believe it is generally a bit lower temperature at the site where these were found, as it is in a valley, where during high pressure it is usually coldest in the bottom.
My thought about this is that usually, the season is ending around late October/ early November. This particular season however, has been strange, and the fruits I found just prior to the frost, were kind of more like the season start, rather than the end. So it could be that as the mycelium was healthy and triggered to fruit, it simply just "hibernated" with primordia and all until the conditions became favourable again. Whereas in "normal" seasons the mycelium would, at this time of the year, already be spent and weak, and more susceptible to frost.

Most of these I picked yesterday were actually in healthy condition, if you expand the picture and look closely. It is just badly lit being taken indoors without flash. Most of them were quite fresh.

No springs at all. The layer of top soil is also generally very thin in my region, often not more than a few meters down to the bedrock. On the other hand, being close to the coast and the Gulf Stream, the winters are usually quite mild compared to the inlands.

Crazy picture there, and crazy find, Anglerfish!
I also went back to my place a few times during late October & early November (hard frost came here much earlier) but I didn't find any, despite that some two weeks of mild weather followed.
It's interesting to read now that it wasn't too dumb of an idea, after all. LOL
