Creeping yellow yuck! What is it?
All,
I've got this disgusting neon-yellow fungus growing on my mulch. It's also shown up on a rock or two (near mulch) and grown up the side of my house (not far, from a patch on mulch). We get some every year, but this year has been the worst. What is this stuff? How do I keep it from coming back? Yeeuuchh! - John |

Harmless altho unsightly. See http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...3Den%26lr%3 D Raleighgirl |

We used to have a nice patch of it at our place in Cary. Best thing about that place - Susan |

John,
As another poster mentioned, it sounds like dog vomit fungus -- aptly named, alas. However, you probably want to get the stuff off your house -- my understanding is that nearly *anything* on house siding can be a problem. That said, I confess that I don't have any idea how you can get it off the house. I'm not sure whether power washing is advisable here, since the last thing you would want to do is force the fungus spores(?) into the siding. For starters, if the mulch is right up against the house, I think raking it away a bit might be helpful. Anne Lurie NE Raleigh "ZeroWing" wrote in message ...

I'd suggest using a low pressure spray or scrub brush to apply a fungicide to the house before and after mechanical removal of the fungus followed by additional fungicide applications approximately ever 10 days until you're sure its gone. Fungus mycorhyzae are probably throughout the siding, so you want to disrupt the fruiting cycle until it's dead.
