I stuck it out,, all i could think all day was " last time,, ", so i couldn't pull myself away.
Makes hard hunting tho when ur eyes are pissing streaming and you can't feel your hands.

Found a whopping 14 libs today! All of them were fairly under developed. They were not very new growth, because I remember the specific spots that I left them to mature 1 week ago. Also, most that I found stopped developing and dried in that level of maturity.
Do these temperatures(below 0c) trigger a halt in fruiting? I wonder, since temps are going back up whether they will fruit again or if they simply stop for the season. My guess would be no more fruits. But I'll let a more experienced lib person answer that. Lib master where you at?(oh yeah, I didn't notice any pins either)
Here are a couple shots from this morning's hunt.

if u left them a week ago, no way are they the same mushrooms, libs take 48 hours to mature from a pin, max.

when it gets to freezing point fruiting will stop, if its just a short freeze (2 or 3 days) then they will fruit again when conditions improve... personally i think it takes a good weeks worth of frost to kill them off... considering its predicted to freeze most nights for the next 2 weeks that is probably it for this year...

if u go look at my hunting thread u will see that i was picking in the frost the weekend before last, and they were growing again this weekend...

if we get any unseasonably mild weather then they might fruit again, but doubtful... i certainly wont be going out again this season.
there will be a few growing perhaps, but not in any numbers great enough to tempt me out in the cold

nice frosty lib pics btw

That's around how many i was bringing home at peak season lol,,,,, apart from one day after it rained i managed a thousand + from my usual spot.

Still, it's not bad for my first year out,, .
I'll be doing a lot of scouting for potential new locations this year. Parking can be a bitch sometimes so it'd be good to find in advance some places to check next season.

Nice finds man,,
