Dahlia tubers
I have found dahlia tubers , some are not rotted , this is first time I have grown dahlia from seed so I have no idea if these will be ok. I have read how to store over winter but doesn't apply to finding them now Will they be ok? Do I leave them in greenhouse? Bring them in ?

If they are firm-you can start them of again now in moist compost in a frost free place-a bit of heat helps-then take cuttings if you want- or plant out sometime in May.
They are dormant tubers-you do not need to dry them out now-that is what you do when they are lifted in the Autumn-now you need to rehydrate them
Inside might be the prefered option
I have thrown out the soft ones just kept the firm . I am going to compost today, then see what happens ...if anything
