There Was A Recent Explosion Of Mushrooms In My Yard. Here's About 40% Of The Chickenfat Mushroom That Showed Up.

This was a good chunk of the chickenfat, but the rest were more spread out.
Several other kinds of mushrooms are growing in abundance, too. I posted several of them in /c/Mushrooms before I discovered this community. Maybe you can help me ID some (read: most) of them! I may have also mis-ID'd some, too.
Quite possibly. Those flowering plants may have been supplying root exudates to the mycelium. Also, the root mass left behind by seasonal annuals could have further fed the fungus. Clover or others may have been fixing nitrogen that could have been used when they were done. Lots of beneficial exchange may have been occurring below the surface.
We do have clover aaaalll around our yards. We just let it be and it's become well established over the years. I didn't realize it was good for adding nitrogen to the soil.
This clover is responsible for allowing you to forgo fertilization. It's also drought tolerant.
