Let me chime in to say you should inoculate your piles with fungi, because you really want to speed up the decomposition process.

Any mushrooms that you see popping out of the ground are suitable candidates. Whiz them up in the blender with some water and throw it on your piles of wood chips. Water them in good and if it goes a week without raining, give them some more water.

I almost feel silly asking this question, but I'm assuming any mushrooms whipped up in a blender with water should do the trick then? I don't see why you should need to inoculate with native fungi, right?
