Post #1 - June 29th, 2010, 2:16 pmFound this in my yard today.
I'm guessing it's Physarum polycephalum, but maybe the mycologists on here can tell me more.
I don't think I'll try eating it.

Post #4 - June 30th, 2010, 9:12 amThat's a good question. I don't kill it anymore. It just sort of dies a natural death. However, a lot of people get freaked out by it.

It often grows in mulch."The only thing I have to eat is Yoo-hoo and Cocoa puffs so if you want anything else, you have to bring it with you."
