AS I SAID IF IT IS MUSHROOM SEASON ELSEWHERE IN EUROPE IT IS NOT YET THE CASE HERE, DRY SEASON LASTS USUALLY TILL MIDDLE OCTOBER, SOMETIMES LATER. MUSHROOM SEASON STARTS AT BEST MIDDLE NOVEMBER...
I COULD HAVE PICKED SOMETHING FROM MY ARCHIVES BUT ACTUALLY FOUND QUITE CHALLENGING TO TRY TO FIND SOME REMAINS IN NATURE.
IT WAS QUITE A CHALLENGE BECAUSE I ONLY FOUND THIS ONE AND MY DOG GOT INJURED WITH A BRANCH ON THE EYES, I HAD TO RUN TO A VET... ETC... NOW SHE IS UNDER TREATMENT AND WILL IMPROVE.
A FRIEND OF MINE SENT ME SOME PICS SHE TOOK IN PYRENEAN MOUNTAINS THOSE DAYS... BUT I DON'T LIKE TO CHEAT... SO YOU WILL HAVE TO ACCEPT THIS POOR REMAIN AS WHAT I COULD DO... UNDERNEATH THE SECOND PICTURE.SHOWS SPORES AND THE THIRD SHOWS WHAT THIS MUSHROOM IS LIKE IN FEBRUARY!

The Careto tradition is a pre-historical Celtic religious ritual still practised in some regions of Portugal, namely in the villages of Podence (Macedo de Cavaleiros, Bragança District) and Lazarim (Lamego, Viseu District). It currently takes place during Carnival and is one of the oldest traditions being practiced in Portugal today.
Caretos are masked young men dressed in suits made of yellow, red, black, blue and green fringe wool quilts, wearing brass, leather or wooden masks and rattles in their belts.
Cartetos in the Carnival at Lazarim
Shrove Tuesday and the prior Sunday are the days when the Caretos are most active. They appear in groups from every corner of the village running and shouting excitedly, frightening the people and “robbing” all the wineries.
The main target of these masquerade groups are single young girls, who make them climb to the top of walls and verandas.
Scholars associate the Careto tradition with memories of magical practices related to agrarian fertility cults
