GARDEN FUNGUS: fungus on cocoa mulch

» Mary_Henry - fungus on cocoa mulch

Cocoa mulch almost always goes through a moldy period the first time the weather becomes extremely damp or humid. As Carol says, the only true problem is getting slippery when wet. The fungus does not attack your plants. When the mulch dries a bit, just rake it or stir it with a broom to make it look better and it likely will not mold again unless you add new mulch to it.
