Can anyone help me identify this ?mold? Daughter found in in her shower in Providence RI in an apartment she just move into (in shower)
Hi William, Good googling - yes it looks like it is a slime mold, though I can't tell from the photo enough detail to be sure. Is it watery or firm to the touch? If the former, then likely a slime mold. There are a number of yellow slime molds: Physarum and Fuligo are possibles. Not a hazard, but does indicate dampness, so it may be worth investigating a source of an ongoing leak. If it is firm rather than watery, then likely a fungus. cheers, frog
