Mushroom Takeover

While I anxiously await some color and more growth in the garden this spring, the mushrooms have been appearing en masse! Big white ones, tiny white ones, clusters of white ones on a mostly barren landscape. If feels like Star Wars out there.

I wish I was a mushroom expert, but I’m not. I still think they’re cool and funky. I do know they’re a sign of healthy soil, and when they break down, they will add even more organic matter to my raised beds so that’s great. I have broccoli growing in two raised beds. One also has mushrooms growing in it and that broccoli looks like it’s on steroids. The other broccoli in the raised bed with no mushrooms is puny.
