A long while ago we had a discussion where I reckoned I had ants in my
garden that farmed a fungus. Well yesterday I put a spade through what
looks to me like a perfect example of their action. Small 5cm x 5cm x 1cm
chambers with a white mushroomy smelling fungus uniformly coating the
walls. Unfortunately the ants are long gone now wherever they go.

However, I now know exactly where to dig next year and hope to catch them
in the act. Unfortunately I was digging quite vigorously and didn't spot
it in time to avoid messing it up, but pieces of the white fungal carpet
were obvious as I smashed up the soil.

I will go back and try to catch them in the act next year.


You need to make sure you have a device capable of taking photos with
you next time!

Perhaps Apple will bring out a spade with a camera in it. :-)

The idig, that is.

Hope you've had your tetanus jab, then! ;~).
