February Fungus in the Urban Forest

Various fungus found in the urban forest this month. Some are perennial but others have just come up. Does the urban heat island expand the mushroom season of the urban forest, by bringing warmer temperatures deeper into the rainy season?

Itsy bitsy bright orange fungus

An old puffball, with moss growing out of it! Still expired spores when I poked it.
