>> This area actually is about the driest part of all my lawn. The slime mold also grows mostly in full sun. It just seems that every criteria that fits slime mode appearance does not fit my conditions. Go figure.
Amazing. I would have said "well, that proves it can't be slime molds!"
I reconciled to the fact that my cat can usually out-smart me, or at least out-stubborn me. But now slime molds can fool me! I guess they're right when they say the mind is the first thing to go.
