I still haven't found any new berries, but there are lots of "fruiting bodies'" of fungi in the woods now. This one I have positively identified as Blushing Waxcap (Hygrophorus pudinorus). It is pinky-beige flesh-colored with a disturbingly clammy, waxy feel, and grows on the forest floor. Older ones are riddled with holes, so something likes to eat them - probably slimy slugs.
