The higher the carbon to nitrogen ratio, the more fungus you will have. Other indicators of this are slower decomposition speed, and much lower temperatures (which fungi prefer). Fungally dominated compost will increase soil diversity and supply nutrients to your plants.
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HByvwFTiMTU The reasons for the pile not working are easily solvable. First: the pile is predominantly manure. A working pile needs to have three times as much carbon as nitrogen. He mentions activators, but in this situation they won't help at all. He needs shredded leaves as his browns. I can't tell if there's any food scraps in there, added to the center and covered with a fresh layer of browns (shredded leaves). Second, the pile is super dense and airflow is limited. He needs browns. Third, there is no reason at all to turn the pile, ever. By doing so, the heat from the center is randomly redistributed, making the pile (the thermophilic critters) lose momentum. Do less, reap the results.
