[Greenbuilding] chips ahoy

[Sam Ewbank]

What about inoculation of the wood chips with mushroom spore? Would this
cause the wood chips to breakdown faster. It should increase the biota in
the chip covering, potentially provide food or a harvest for the occupants
and be low maintenance.
Though if your in direct sunlight fruiting may be an issue.
