I did not know what to put this. I just assume it is a wildlife animal.....This was over by the hosta bed on a mulch pile from when they cut the trees down last year.....I just stared at it.....WHAT IS IT? It looked foamy.....is it poop??? But who poops like this.....I took a stick and stirred it.....I just can't imagine what this is......anyone know??

Thanks!!!

Welcome to the wonderful world of slime mold! I did a google for "dog vomit mold", and these sure look similar to me....

WHAT???

You mean a dog puked there and molded??? I am confused.....The pictures in the link sure looks like it!!! There is NO WAY my dog did it cause Ginger is ALWAYS on the leash with us and never even gets to go where that is......BUT..... my NEIGHBOR'S dog sure could have been there......

I still don't get it???

Okay......I get it and now have learned something else......It was on the old mulch from that tree and I had dug and turned it a few days before....so I bet that started it.....

Thanks!!!!!!

It was the "stirred" "before stirred" that got me...
