I'm out dividing today and came upon this...yuck it looks like something vomited in my mulch.

I know I should probably have posted this somewhere else but I'm curious if any of you have ever come across it?

I'm thinking it's some kind of fungus?

Any ideas?

Dog vomit fungus, or Fuligo septica. Lovely, isn't it?

This stuff is SOOOOOOO cool! And it comes in the most amazing colors. I sometimes get the bright orange stuff.

Not sure which is more lovely, the fungus itself or the name.... I thnk the name is worse. I've seen this before (often in bright orange) and while not the most pleasant thing to look at, I've seen worse. That name though.... ugh....

Thanks Ruth. That was my first thought when I saw it (eww looks like the dogs puked), but I knew it couldn't be as it was in the unfenced garden.

Kevin you are too funny! "Cool" was the furthest thing from my mind lol
