'''Mulch''' is a term for ammo destruction in Crawl. Every time you fire or throw a unit of ammo, there is a chance that that unit will be mulched. The odds of this happening depends on the particular item used.  Only ammo can mulch: other items, even weapons such as [[hand axe]]s and [[club]]s which are considered throwable, never break.
