I shredded some wood and added the chips to my compost pile. It is cold compost, mostly kitchen scraps and a lot of coffee grounds and some leafs. It is very wet and I thought it would be a good idea to turn the chips into it.

As expected, it was very wet and smelled a bit rank. Lots of earthworms, though. About two hours later I came past it and noticed a dozen of strange yellow flies that I had never seen before. Lens indicated they are yellow dungflies, which checks out with photos online.

So, am I in trouble for those flies to confuse my compost for a pile of shit?
