Fungus5
Mycena cystidiosa is a saprobic fungus-meaning it obtains nutrients by breaking down decomposing plant organic matter. (wikipedia.org)
This fungus thrives in the leaf litter under Georgia's hardwood trees like oaks and is a common sight in the state's wooded areas. (wildlifeinformer.com)
In fact, the whole appearance of this fungus reminds me of its 'similar looking' but much larger cousin, the Giant Polypore (Meripilus giganteus) , although Hen of the Woods (as a whole) can grow up to 100cm in diametre. (mushroomdiary.co.uk)
Infected dead or senescing petals provide nutrients for the invasion of the fungus into leaves and stems. (metos.ca)
As the fungus grows, it produces spores , or seed-like structures. (msucares.com)
Germinate2
Apothecia can last about 20 days at 15 to 20°C, but shrivel after less than 10 days at 25°C. For flowering herbs, spores landing on petals and stamens germinate rapidly (germination within 3-6 hours and infection within 24 hours) in optimum conditions of 15-25°C, continuous leaf wetness and high humidity within the crop. (metos.ca)
The optimal temperature for disease development is 75°F, but slower disease development can occur as cool as 39°F and as warm as 86°F. Storms are a perfect time for spore movement because the free water (rain, dew, irrigation) on the trees provides the moisture for these seeds (spores) to germinate and infect the plant. (msucares.com)
Mycelia2
The rhizomorphs of are organized as linear strands of mycelia that are differentiated into an inner portion containing large diameter 'vessel' hyphae, and an outer cortex of narrow, thick-walled hyphae. (wikipedia.org)
With the exception of the springtails, they are not compelled to live in damp areas, but seek them because they find food there, such as leaf mold or fungal mycelia. (ucr.edu)
Germination6
Apothecia produce air-borne spores, which can cause infection when they land on a susceptible host plant, either via flowers, or by direct germination on leaves. (metos.ca)
Spore germination and infection depend on the presence of nutrients on leaves, either from plant wounds or senescing plant material. (metos.ca)
As for flowering herbs, the optimum spore germination and infection conditions are 15-25°C with continuous leaf wetness and high humidity. (metos.ca)
Myceliogenic germination of sclerotia at the soil surface can also result in colonization of dead organic matter with subsequent infection of adjacent living plants. (metos.ca)

These organic amendments, i.e., farmyard manure (FYM), poultry manure (PM) and biochar have the potential to improve soilwater holding capacity. (pakbs.org)
Compost5
Compost tea (Aerated Compost Tea) and tea extracts should contain all the microbial organisms necessary to begin feeding on the minerals or any organic matter you add to the dirt or any ground you're wanting to boost. (wormfarmingrevealed.com)
This process is made with finished (mature) compost soaked in water for a period of days or less, for the extraction of microbes. (wormfarmingrevealed.com)
Most of the time these are good extracts when done properly with mature compost. (wormfarmingrevealed.com)
Cover the paper with an organic compost up to a couple of inches thick. (gardenews.co.nz)
After that you likely only have to continue with the compost and organic foods, a spray of Perkfection in the spring and autumn. (gardenews.co.nz)
Although the mushrooms are usually found on fallen leaves, it also grows on wood, utilising the small branch litter common to eucalypt forests. (wikipedia.org)
Blueberries have a shallow, fibrous root system that grows best in well-drained soil with high organic matter content. (msucares.com)
From the stems arise alternate, sword-shaped leaves with entire leaf margins . (wikipedia.org)
