| It looks like a very healthy slime mold. |

| I guess it fits the dog vomit fungus, although it's not bright yellow or orange. Kind of a cream color. Very strange! |

| Have you had a lot of rain and humid weather? I get a few of these in my flower bed every year, then it turns black and dries up. I've been told they aren't harmful. |

| I have never seen one that size before. |

| It's about 3 inches wide and 15 inches long. There is another one growing on the outside of the stone. It seems like these things would grow on dirt and not stone. We haven't had much humid weather or rain. |

| oh yeah, I seem to remember a few of these appearing in Scotland one year - the locals claimed extra-terrestrial origins. |

| I get a couple of those this time every year. They last around a week and they dry up. |

| Awww . . . What with the snout, the darkened ear, the circular eye, the beard and the tapered tail -- all in just the right places -- I was certain that one of the experienced folk here would identify it as a rare giant beige garden slug exhibiting certain Darwinian characteristics on the evolutionary road to something really horrendous. Or something really marvelous. I so want it to be that . . . Can anyone help me here? |

| Hey Aggierose, did you poke it with a stick to see if it moves? Kim |
RE: What the heck is this?? (pic)

| Ok, I know believe..."The truth is out there!!!" : ) That is very cool in a screepy kind of way. (scary+creepy) |
RE: What the heck is this?? (pic)

| Kim you are hilarious!!! I would have guessed it was a giant mutated slug or something with all that slime.... Did you poke it to see if it moved?...hehe It is quite scary looking...! |
RE: What the heck is this?? (pic)

| I have no idea what it is, but it looks like what bread dough looks like before it is baked...if it over-rises. Maybe it is some kind of yeast-thing. |

| Anyone ever see the 1958 sci fi/horror flick - "The Blob"? |
RE: What the heck is this?? (pic)
