What's that?

I go out to pick up the newspaper and I'm all... What?! Did somebody come into my yard last night just to throw up in my garden?

Slime mold

Oh, it's slime mold. Dog Vomit Fungus! Remember? I mentioned it here once, you know, that day when I deliberately vomit-blogged. But I've never seen it in my yard before, even though I have seen -- and photoblogged -- some pretty impressive fungus, fungus that makes you think not of vomiting, but of one of those other bodily activities.

Is that fresh mulch? Might have come with that. Could be worse - you could have stinkhorn mushrooms... you know - Phallus impudicus.

As if you needed proof of how wet it's been here lately! I've also seen this on fresh mulch.

It's last year's mulch.

And Meade, you aren't clicking on my links!

That fungus seems to emit a vapor that scrambles speech centers in esteemed professor's brains and turns them into a 15 year old valley girl.

Awesome!

Gnarly!

Tubular!

(seems there might be some of that fungus hereabouts as well)
