There is Fungus Among Us
OhioGardener 4/6/2019, 9:15 pm
When using wood chips for ground cover around the raised beds, it is not unusual to see various type for fungi from the decomposing wood. But, this one is the most unique I have ever seen. It is called Slime Mold, and it actually moves along on the surface of the chips as is feeds. It tends to look disgusting, but is actually part of the beneficial life cycle of decomposing organic matter.

Because of the folks on this Forum, I wasn't surprised when this showed up. Interesting in its own creepy way.

Okay, here's mine -- devouring a young kale plant. This puppy is about 12" x 12".

Went out to check the squash that were planted in the BTE garden, and discovered a new batch of mushrooms growing after the last 3 days of rain. Nature at its best! 
While walking back through the raised bed gardens, I noticed that some Slime Mold was trying to eat some of my Banana Peppers. The mold is growing on the straw that was used to mulch the plants.

There is an interesting fungus of some type growing on the end of the bed next to the pepper plants. It is white and flat, with a brownish spot on the top edge of each one. This is probably from the straw that I used to mulch the peppers.
