I'm sure that many people would be curious to know that.
Quite a simple mechanic, I don't think it ever was a secret. There was a global structure for each pooled foregable that kept track of an imaginary number in the pool, and a maximum number. Think of it as it being possible for 500 bluebells (made-up number, I don't remember what it actually was), and each time a bluebell was picked, one was subtracted from the number of bluebells in the pool. The remaining number as a fraction of the maximum number was then used to modulate the chance of the forageable in question actually spawning, and the number filled up over time at some particular rate.
