    Hi..

    So I was doing the dishes tonight and looked in the garden. I thought to myself... some ass**** has thrown scrambled egg into my garden - but on closer inspection it appears to be something fungal or weirder...

    Anyway - I've attached pics, my current inclination is to bleach the patch into next week. The only thing I do to the grass out back is cut it - nothing has ever gone on treatment wise so dont know where this has come from...

    Anyone able to wise me up!

    It definitely looks like some form of fungus. Its almost impossible to know what type or what caused it without testing it.

    Its more than likely natural and probably a result of the warm and wet weather the last few weeks. I's say lash a few buckets of water over it and break it up with a yard brush. No point in bleaching your lawn.

    It's a slime mould.
