Baine,

I've noticed mushrooms in the mulch occasionally, mostly in the rose bed on
the clay soil that was brought in when the addition to my house was built
(as opposed to the sandy soil that I have everywhere else).

Do you ever have a problem using hardwood with fungi? Seems like this
group
had a thread in the past on such.

Well, I finally broke down & ordered up some mulch......I'd been
resisting
the purchase out of sheer laziness, I guess -- after all, there's
nothing
more reproachful than a pile of mulch waiting for some attention (unless
it's the plants that benefit from getting some of the above-mentioned
mulch).

In any event, if anyone in the NE Raleigh area is interested, here's the
info on the stuff I got from Bradsher's (the "giant" on 401):

6 cu. yds. triple shredded* hardwood mulch, delivered:
$140

*they used to carry both, double-shredded & triple-shredded, but it was
apparently not cost-effective to sort out the two mulches.

R. L. Bradsher: 872-5174

Note: I have no interest whatsoever in the Bradsher business, although
I
confess that I did think of asking the nice woman driving the dump truck
if
she might have any tips for me, as I find it nearly impossible to back
up
our little Chevy S-10 in a straight line!
