One box had significant decomposition and I used the chips at the bottom of

with the other two boxes and there was no decomposition. Instead, the boxes
were full of very stiff, black, wirelike roots that held all the chips
together. The first box did not have significant contact with the ground
for
the past year, but the other two did. Something grew in that box, but it
didn't seem to be from the ground because the boxes did not seem to be
attached to the ground. >>
The box that was "above" ground decayed fast because of good air circulation.
The other two boxes were "invaded" by a fungi of some sort. with black
mycelium or sporangia
