Healthy soil and sustainable growing

How can I visually identify humus in my garden, compost piles or wooded area? I thought it was that rich black looking stuff after compost breaks down. I'm not so sure now.

At Soil Secrets, the making of humus involves a biochemical chain of events using a calorie source - Protein, bacteria and other catalysts.
