Ashes to ashes and compost to compost

It is amazing what a little mushroom compost can do. Here we have two different kinds of mushrooms flourishing on the Oaktown Farm. One in fact, is it's own little sub-forest beneath the broccoli forest.



And the other is simply a mushroom beast.



I wonder if these are edible, but am guessing not. Although there was a third variety in the chicken run that the girls feasted on and as I've said before, they lived to tell the tale. I don't think I will be making a red sauce with Oaktown Farm mushrooms anytime soon, but it sure is fun watching them thrive in the beds with all the rain we have had. In a few weeks I will turn them into the soil and let them go back from whence they came.
