My random query is thus, has anyone else who lives in the vicinity of housing developments experiencing a very heavy load of mushrooms or toadstools or other forms of fungi appearing in their garden, potted plants etc ...?
This may sound kind of random, but it seems to be happening in two places out west that I am aware of.
I ask as I have NEVER had any fungi appearing before this last year.
They have suddenly appeared since we've had a couple of large housing developments in the area.
With all of the soil clearance and scrapping of the remaining land preparing for the foundations, I was wondering if any spores of these said fungi have been dug up and are being blown all around the neighbourhood?
I thought that I may have been way off base, and could still be, but a friend who lives in the Swanson area has been experiencing the exact same thing and he has housing developments right across the road and quite a few down Swanson Road.
He seems to agree with my theory and I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.
I wonder what else the excavating has loosened and is being transported around the neighbourhood by the wind and all of those heavy trucks removing all the rubble and dirt?
What happened to the LTSA rules for trucks having to cover their loads, especially with loose rubble, dirt, stones etc ...?

Auckland's Harbour Bridge will shimmer yellow this week to mark Road Safety Week.

The Yellow Ribbon Alliance, a group of firms raising awareness of road trauma, is promoting use of the colour to highlight road safety.

Road Safety Week participants can show their support by wearing yellow or donning a yellow ribbon pin.

Members of the public are invited to go yellow to show their support.

Organisations will be reminding drivers to stick below the speed limit, especially around schools and communities, and to adhere to the 20 km/h limit for passing a school bus.

School students are busy making posters reminding drivers to slow down, and will be dressed in yellow.

In its 10th year, the annual week will focus on speed with the Streets for Life theme.

More than 80,000 speed notices were issued around schools last year.

One in four people killed on New Zealand roads were in a crash where someone drove too fast for the conditions.

Speeding was a contributing factor in 79 fatal crashes and 424 serious injury crashes last year.

In 2020, more than 4000 speed notices and more than 80,000 speed camera notices were issued for offences near schools during school hours.
