End of Mushrooming Season (NH) (Southern Hemisphere only)
1

May is the fifth month of the year. It is the last month of spring in the northern hemisphere, in which various bugs, fishes, and sea creatures return as the temperature warms up. The season transitions into summer not long after. It is also the last month of fall, in which mushrooms will spawn throughout. During the last few days of the season, maple leaves fall from the sky that can be collected for DIY projects. After May 25, winter partially starts, with the first snowfall potentially occurring during this time.
