Purple Fungus In Compost?
Hi Everybody,
I have noticed recently some purple dust-like material on the top of my compost. I pour enough liquid on, that it should wash off, but the fuzz is there again a couple of days later. So I am guessing that this a some kind of fungus, mold, or something like that. I use a covered plastic bin, and everything seems to be going OK. Any ideas what is? -- Get Credit Where Credit Is Due http://www.cardreport.com/ Credit Tools, Reference, and Forum |

Sounds like it. I don't know much about identifying one kind versus another, but a compost bin is all about letting the decomposers (fungus, bacteria, etc) do their thing. So the chances are quite good that this is a non-problem (and in fact will stop once the decomposition gets to a certain point). |
