Mushrooms in the Swales

  • After waiting for three years for rain, Al Baydha Project finally got a second test of its water system the last week of January, 2014. A week later, I found these mushroom growing where some of the swale had silted up. Not only do these fungi show that we are dramatically improving soil moisture but also that there is a living fungal network underneath our ground, which is one of the foundations for reestablishing healthy soil and reforesting the area.

    Mushroom growth is the beginning of soil creation.

    Man oh man. The odds of those spores ever having a chance to land, grow, & prosper in that environment must be incredible.
    Thanks for sharing

    Al Baydha project location: 21°03'05.44" N 39°54'10.87" E - it is extremely hard to find without these exact coordinates.
    You can follow the site's progress using Google Earth, and witness the transformation of what was a wasteland.

    I love your videos. I've seen all of them. Please post more even if you think they're insignificant. I want the smallest details. You are a very dedicated individual. Keep up the good work. And may Allah make you successful in your tenure.

    How are things greening up in the canyon above the swales? I've been following your project for a least the last year or so, and I'm eager to see how things go for you. I wish you the best.

    That is probably a Coprinus-relative, the inkcaps. They grow on decaying organic matter.

      Oh, and the ones on two photos you have on Instagram are parasol-relatives, Lepiota or Chlorophyllum. They also live from decaying organic matter.
      Both kinds are not mycorrhiza, but will certainly promote soil life and increase water capacity in the soil.
