AGRICULTURE NEWSPage 5Mulch Mushrooms and Other FascinatingOrganismsMulches provide numerous benefits inour landscapes, including conserving soilmoisture and suppressing weeds, as wellas providing a pleasing background tohighlight landscape plantings. However,mulch can also provide a perfect growingmedium for a diverse group of fungi andslime molds. While gardeners may bealarmed when they see an abundance ofmushrooms or a yellow slime mold suddenly spread across their mulch, theseorganisms often do not infect plants orcause plant diseases. In fact, there’s goodin that unusual slime mold or odorousstinkhorn.Saprophytic fungi and slime molds gettheir nutrients from nonliving organicmaterials, such as wood mulch and plantresidue, and in the process contribute totheir decomposition, releasing nutrientsback into the soil and improving soil fertility. A variety of saprobes are needed tocompletely recycle nutrients, so it is advantageous to have a diversity of beneficial saprobes present and growing in yourgarden. Slime molds, in particular, areindicators of healthy soils with high organic matter.While most saprobes do not cause damage, the tiny artillery fungi, which oftengoes unnoticed in mulch, eject masses ofsticky spores up to 20 feet away. The tarlike specks cling to house siding, cars andother nearby structures and can be extremely difficult to remove, because theyoften leave a stain.Slime molds may initially appear brightyellow but darken with maturity. Theyare harmless and, like fungal saprobes,emerge temporarily during wet weather.Dry weather will halt their growth anddry them out. You can remove them witha rake, but they may reappear when rainsreturn. Managing moisture or improvingdrainage may help limit or discouragetheir emergence if their presence is problematic such as on sidewalks.Even if you don’t mind their appearance,there still might be a few other reasonsto remove fungal fruiting bodies. Somemushroom species are poisonous, andyou may want to remove them to prevent children or pets from eating them.Wear gloves when removing poisonousmushrooms by hand.

Page 6Page 6AGRICULTURE NEWSVolume 1, Issue 1Late Summer—Time to Establish Cool-SeasonForages“The periodfrom latesummer intoearly fall isthe best timeto establishcommon coolseason grassessuch asorchardgrass,tall fescue,timothy andbluegrass forpasture orhay inKentucky”The period from late summer into earlyfall is the best time to establish commoncool-season grasses such as orchardgrass,tall fescue, timothy and bluegrass for pasture or hay in Kentucky. These fourgrasses make up 95 percent of our pasture acreage.Many years of research have shown thisperiod provides the best chance for successful establishment. Mother Nature hasa hand in this because seed produced inlate spring remains dormant until latesummer, and early fall rainfall providesthe moisture necessary for the seed togerminate.To increase your success rate, rememberthese four points:First, address soil fertility needs by applying lime and fertilizer based on a current soil test. Inadequate levels of phosphorous, potassium or limestone will limit the success of late-summer seedings.For pure grass stands, apply nitrogen atthe rate of 40 to 60 pounds per acre.Second, control competition. Latesummer seedings most often fail fromcompetition and lack of water. When youcontrol existing vegetation with herbicides or tillage, the emerging seedlingswill have access to whatever water andnutrients are present without having tocompete with weeds.To maximize the success of seedings, usea burn-down herbicide ahead of plantingto kill annual weeds. Translocated herbicides can be used where labeled to kill orsuppress perennials such as johnsongrass.Remember to wait two to three weeksafter spraying translocated herbicidesbefore you plant in no-till situations. Thiswill allow time for killed weeds to dryout and for residual effects of the herbicide to decay.Third, select high quality seed of anadapted variety. Planting high quality seedis an essential step toward establishmentand longevity of a pasture. These seedshave high percentages of germination,low percentages of weed seed and freedom from noxious weed seed.Use varieties that have a proven trackrecord of performance in Kentucky. TheUniversity of Kentucky conducts extensive research on varietal performance,which can be found on the UK Forageswebsite, https://forages.ca.uky.edu/variety trials. Here you will find all of thecurrent results for the major foragecrops in Kentucky, including cool-seasongrasses.Look for varieties that have performedwell across several test years and locations. These varieties will have improvedyield, quality, persistence, disease resistance or other positive traits.If you’re uncertain about a variety’s adaptation and performance, you can obtaininformation on the leading performers inthe UK forage variety tests by contactingme at the Jessamine County CooperativeExtension Service.Fourth, seed at the proper time anddepth. Seed legumes and grasses beforemid-September. Grasses are less sensitiveto later seeding than legumes. The majorcool-season grasses will not do well ifyou simply broadcast them onto existingovergrazed or mowed pastures. Foragesshould be seeded no deeper than onefourth to one-half inch.Late-summer alfalfa seedings are susceptible to sclerotinia stem and crown rot. Ifsclerotinia has been active in your areaor farm, strongly consider waiting untilnext spring to seed.By: Dr. Jimmy Henning, U.K Extension Forage Specialist
