Noticed this morning.
There has suddenly appeared a white deposit on an area of earth about a
yard square - underneath a silver birch (which may not be relevant).
What on earth can it be?
I don't like to even touch it without knowing.
I scraped a bit up on the tip of a stainless steel table knife - and it
seems to be about a millimetre thick - possibly some kind of fungus -
paste-like when squashed - doesn't cover the whole area - just blotches
of it on the ground.
How can I find out what it is?
Should I be concerned?
Might urgent action be needed?
A neighbour's garden has a fungus that forms a blanket on or in the soil
in shady places. It seems to be harmless.
