Re Previous pic... See Qtips diary.
Some thoughts: I find the same thing every time I compost grass clippings... hottest clippings turn brown and are presumably rendered sterile they are 150 degrees or so. Then there is a zone of fungal growth which can appear in less than 24 hours and sometimes becomes so white it looks like ash. Finally on the outside is a zone where no decomposition has occurred and the clippings are the same as when they first went in. The heated brown clippings can make a tea which is almost black. It�s hard to get many nutrients out of the other portions because the fungus has absorbed them or they are still locked in the grass.
