Wine Caps and freezing weather

I finally got my first flush of Wine Caps! We had a week of lovely weather and rain, and up they came! My plans for lunch just changed!!!  :D

But we are getting snow in two days. Won't last long, but definitely dropping below 32 for at least 8 hours and snow.

Do I need to harvest all of the ones that are up before it snows, or will they keep growing and be ok?

I believe that the fruiting bodies (mushrooms) that already have sprouted will probably be effected by the weather and get a bit mushy if left in snow/wet environment if not picked but the mycelium underneath the ground will be fine. I would expect that you would get future flushes.

I run into the problem of identifying a patch of small Winecaps that I want to pick, forgetting them for what feels like a day, and realizing they are HUGE after.

Thank you!!  
I'll get out there as soon as this rain finishes, and guess I'll dig out the dehydrator.  :D

Pearl, AWESOME!!!

I have been waiting all day to type up this post to congratulate you.  The mushrooms are great, but the real magic is the fertile bedding you have.  I think that you will find that compost to be some wonderful stuff.

Again, congratulations!!
