1) I got a load of what was supposed to be composted mushroom soil. It's
light and airy, but deeper in the pile it smells real bad. (anaerobic
composting?)

2) I planted a few flowers using most all the mushroom soil to replace
the very heavy clay I dug out.

3) After a couple months, most of these plants are dead or dieing.

So..........

Was I wrong to use almost 100% mushroom soil and the nitrogen is burning
the roots?

Is the soil not true mushroom soil and isn't finished decomposing? Again
too much nitrogen?

Note: I have not had a single stray mushroom grow out of the pile of
soil (about 5' round and 3' tall).

Other?

I thought I replied last night but I don't see it. Just a "thank you"
for the info. I better get out there and replant this stuff before it's
all dead.

Thanks again,
Tony
