Randle Mushroom Calendar
Randle sits in the Cascades and has a damp, maritime-influenced climate — about 58.4 inches of rain a year, most of it falling in the cool months from fall into spring. The ground warms and reaches early fruiting potential around April, by which point the average last frost (Apr 24) has usually passed. Through summer, localized storms can set off scattered fruitings, but widespread flushes are rare until more consistent rain returns in September. The first frosts around Oct 15 eventually close the main season, though hardy cool-season species hang on.
