Q&A – What are these things that appeared in my flower bed?
Question:
What are these things that suddenly appeared in my flower bed? Will they harm my plants? What should I do?
Answer:
This is a kind of slime mold that has been named dog vomit. It is growing on the mulch. It will not harm your plants and if you don’t like it you can remove it from the bed. It will go away after a while if you leave it alone. It is a fungus so any time you have warm weather, high humidity, and rain it may show up.
