Maybe the mulch will stop the seeds from germination and taking hold?
Or maybe not...

Back to shrooms - I've had a very good run this year with the 'field
mushrooms' (Agaricus sp): http://i44.tinypic.com/11qo310.jpg

A good combination of mild weather and rain has meant that we've had
almost continuous supply of field mushrooms all through spring,
summer, autumn - and even now into winter. I'm going to use some
tonight with diced venison, in some sort of variant on a Bourguignon.
