Question:
What is this growing on my mulch? Did I get cheap mulch? A: Slime mold
Answer:
This is a slime mold sometimes called “dog vomit” fungus. Mary Schmidt from Lichterman Nature Center says it is not because of cheap mulch. It is a fungus that likes wet and hot conditions and will appear after a rain. She says it is not harmful and you can rake it up if you don’t like it. Also, you can try to dry out the area by raking the mulch.
