Before I answer your question, I'll ask one of my own: Why would you think these things would be absent? I don't mean this rudely, I'm legitimately curious how you came up with the question.
As for the answer, yes. This is an undisturbed soil; there's tons of mushrooms in the area, tons of white-rot etc. The soil's got a seedbank as well, since it's native soil.
I expect it to be there. But it is admittedly hard to see.
But as someone just learning about these things (specifically from the work of Charles Dowding) I find it very exciting. And I would like to see if that could be captured in your photos as well.
