This stuff appeared in our backyard two days ago. What is it? Looks like alien blob. IMG_0134 by Pat, on Flickr This yellow photo is more true to color. It is dainty fibrous where it clings to the bricks. IMG_0135 by Pat, on Flickr Husband cleverly removed it all with the spatula from the kitchen!!!! I need to know if that spatula should just be thrown away.

I would spray the wall with straight vinegar or a Clorox 1/4 to gal of water, Some friend in AZ had something similar one morning on the backs of there horses The horses died 2 days later. I would associate this with the chem trail spraying BUT for your sake I hope it is JUST a fungus out here in the desert we get chem trail all the time. Will open my eyes to this possible happening.

Maybe this?
Dog Vomit Slime Mold (I'm not making this up!!)
Here's it's story -
from Margaret's Garden Blog, more here link , More photos here as well.
It that's what it is, I'm seriously doubting it killed those two horses.
They even say it is edible (if you can get past the gag/repulsion factor), but still, Pat, throw that spatula away!

I daresay the two are not related. Just a happy coincidence?

rockpickerforever thanks. That is probably it. I've emailed Scott's source, but no reply yet. Had also googled slime mold. Whew! We've had several new types of mushrooms in the yard, but nothing like that slime mold. One year, we had a similar slime mold at the base of our California Pepper tree. Watched it for days and it just literally faded away.

In further research, I find that there is no known danger to humans or other animals from inhaling the pores or ingesting this organism.
I'm going to bleach the spatula and wash it with soap... and keep it in the kitchen. I'll probably wince a little next time I use it, but... : )

I garden with a lot of mulch and am always surprised at the variety of mushrooms or slime molds that just appear from nowhere. Our world is just genetically wonderful with it's variety.

I want to eat some of it. Moon excrement edibility: Though not generally considered edible, E. lycoperdon is not toxic. In Veracruz, Mexico, the very young aethalia are collected, fried, and eaten. suggested dessert:
