Привет!

Being avid mushroom-pickers, Russians sometimes use the phrase 'грибной дождь' - "mushroom rain". It's the kind that can best be characterized as a light drizzle, often on sunny days during the mushroom season. After 'mushroom rain' passes, mushrooms are supposed to grow super fast, so the mushroom-pickers will rush to the forest to find them all.

•  -О, нет, снова идёт дождь!
  -Это грибной!
•  -Oh no, it's raining again!
  -It's the mushroom kind!
