So, let me get this right. Nearly 85% of all hot spots are on land that is either National forest or conservation areas and only say 15% farmers to blame ? Seems the point of blame for the haze needs to be less on farmers and more on the people governing the forest reserves and conservation areas .

Count them....

All caused by lightning strikes I presume.

Makes sense it is in forests.  Was told by rhe Other Half it was done as the people want the mushrooms that appear after fires.

This is a tall tale, at least here in the forest behind our house. After every yearly (17) fire in the moutain behind us we didn't find any mushrooms, except a few you would die of.

 

If you believe all these fire-mushroom stories, you can trust all mirtacles written in the bible.

There are mushrooms that fruit after fires have burbr then it rains.  In Eurooe an example is the Horn of Plenty mushroom.  So it is plausible as a hypothesis.
