Joshua Siskin writes about mushrooms in his garden and a new book.
I have never seen as many mushrooms in my garden as I have this spring.
I also saw a strange-looking growth on my wood chips which I uploaded to the site. I soon learned that it is a slime mold that may appear white, yellow, or orange with the unfortunate names scrambled egg slime and dog vomit slime mold . Formerly classified as fungi, slime molds have the capacity to actually ambulate like slow-moving snails in their plasmodium stage of development. Slime molds are now classified as protists, placing them in the same category as most algae.
In fact, a long list of our common garden plants are susceptible to oak root fungus, although many California natives are not. In the manner of many soil-dwelling fungi, Armillaria spores are ever present in our soil and are just waiting for the right circumstances – inadequate drainage or standing water – to germinate.
