Hello. I am new to this site, but am looking for help. For a week or so, I have been noticing bright yellow largish, irregularly shaped 'globs' appearing in my garden, on top of my mulch. They turn brownish fairly quickly, and seem to dry up. I thought they were some sort of dropping from a tree (Elm) or an animal, but there is a new one under an eave, engulfing my garden hose! where the the tree couldn't reach. My neighbor came over and touched one w/ his foot and it immediately disintegrated into a dark brownish dust. ANy idea what it could be and how I can get rid of it? I have 3 young children and am worried that it could harm them. Thanks for any help you might offer. I will try to post a picture. Thanks for your help! La
=dog vomit slime mold i.e. not a fungus (different kingdom) Harmless, difficult to get rid off. There have been lots of references/pictures/links to this slime mold on this forum - it's fascinating stuff! I'm still intrigued by the red slime mold picture recently, has anyone identified it ? ingrid
Iajamc- With the help of this forum, I too was able to identify this very odd looking substance in my garden... it's certainly strikes chords of fear due to its very bizarre and fast-forming nature. If I had read your question first before posting my own, I would have known what it was right away... elinor
