Quite possibly. Those flowering plants may have been supplying root exudates to the mycelium. Also, the root mass left behind by seasonal annuals would have further fed the fungus. Clover or others maybe have been fixing nitrogen that could have been used when they were done. Lots of beneficial exchange may have been occurring below the surface.

We do have clover aaaalll around our yards. We just let it be and it’s become well established over the years. I didn’t realize it was good for adding nitrogen to the soil.

  This clover is responsible for allowing you to forgo fertilization. It’s also drought tolerant.
