Fall Fungi

These little guys have been popping up all over the place in the past few weeks, an indication that there must be some organic material under the surface. I was beginning to wonder because we've found so much rock around here. We've been busy adding more organic stuff to the soil as fast as we can - horse manure, stable straw, dead leaves, compost, peat moss and so on. We also add quantities of lime because the soil is so acidic. In another few years of pulling rocks out and putting organic material in, we hope to have pretty productive soil in our gardens. All part of carving out a homestead in the woods.
