GARDEN FUNGUS: Re: GARDEN FUNGUS

» CarolWallace - Re: GARDEN FUNGUS

In response to message posted by MrsSauer:
I used cocoa bean mulch a few years back and also saw that fungal growth - but it didn't harm anything - in fact its basically a sign that the mulch is doing its job. Some fungi are just signs that decomposition is taking place.

The only reason I didn't use it again is that we got a chipper shredder and are making our own mulch. Although in my book the more serious problem with the cocoa shells is that they get very slippery when wet and you need to take care if you need to step into the bed for any reason.
