'shrooms - Texture-03.jpg (1/1)
Just out from my door to my backyard I have a large garden bed which I
had mulched heavily with "green" wood and bark chips. After a couple of months of drought, we had a week of rain in autumn producing an abundance of fungi in the areas I had mulched. I don't know anything more about this fungus. Sorry if the pic is too large. -- dee |

Sorry if the pic is too large. I know the picture is about the fungus (and I don't know what they are, either) but this picture looks like autumn. It's coming! -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |

It's particularly keen on cut-down trees or shrubs. It can be eaten, some like it. I haven't tried it. Mary |

It certainly appeared where I had deposited shredded tree limbs and shrub clippings. It can be eaten, some like it. I haven't tried it. I'm not *that* adventurous either :-) -- Mike Upper Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia |

My autumn is 6 months apart from yours. Which for me can only mean one thing. Spring is on it's way! :-) Thanks for the post, Ann. -- Mike Upper Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia |
