I know it's not a bad thing (quite the contrary, I believe), but I saw some mushrooms in my compost heap. I hadn't turned it in like a week (or more?) prior to this turn because of the severe heat wave we had. Tryin ta figure out why for? Was it because it dried out? or the opposite (it is extremely humid here)? or may be somethin I put in it? or just a surprise by ma nature? Just wonderin! Ideas?

I think they need wood but that's just a guess type thing I think I heard somewhere.

I had them growing in my flower beds all summer long untill I let them dry out between waterings! I was picking out a ton of em each day. Now I do long deep waterings once to twice a week depending on the weather to those beds......no more shrooms! Although I have to say my son is disappointed at the lack of smurf houses. lol

It doesn't matter where you go in life... It's who you have beside you when you get there.

Hmmm that would make sense then that they were in my compost...may be I just never noticed them before? Hmmm interesting. But where will papa smurf live without them now Karrie? Sheesh!
