Joker Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 It looks like some sort of nest but what kind? I tried a reverse Google image but it keeps coming up as wood. 🙄 We do have a recent problem with carpenter ants but I don't know if this could be a nest. It doesn't look like any of the pictures I've looked up online. It's just out in the middle of the mulch. This is the first time I've uploaded pictures so I hope it works.

happi duck Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I agree. If you Google dog vomit slime mold you should be able to compare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 Thank you!! I had no idea and was worried something nasty was nesting. We have had a ridiculous amount of rain so that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reefgazer Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) It's a plasmodial slime mold. You must have had a lot of rain where you are located. Edited June 30, 2019 by Reefgazer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Yep. Mold. One year we had a mulch pile that grew several colors. It was really weird.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I've seen those in my flower bed before -- I always assumed they were animal puke. Now I know better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
