SP oddities

[Der_Jakal]

So I updated to play around a bit on single player and I started exploring looking for wolfies but I founds some other weird stuff that I have some questions about. first I saw a forest fire that I didn't start with some lava nearby. can mobs start fires by catching fire and touching trees? also I found a bunch of mushroom drops just laying around. I didn't pick them and I'd never been there before so I don't get how they could get there in drop form. if someone knows the answers to these questions please tell me cause I'm definitely confused by some weird stuff going on in my SP

Edit: I also found a steve co's supply crate. Notch is such a troll lol
weird that I've found three crates before a single wolf

I haven't updated yet because otherwise no multiplayer

This is what I think is happening.

1. Forest fire can happen when a tree grows next to lava, just happens sometimes. Mobs can't spread fire.

2. Mushrooms do that on singleplayer when they spawn in the light.

I can't wait till Bukkit is updated so I can try 'em out.

I think the generator may be a little bugged up, I saw some water that had no blocks next to it, but were not flowing.
