Well I was just having my coffee this morning and looking down at the Arbor stone when I noticed this nasty looking growth. Turns out there are 3 or 4 of them - always attached to the side of the large stones we have. Can anyone tell me what this is? And what to do!!!

Fungi tend to like moist conditions. Does the area where it's growing stay wet? If the stone shades that area, perhaps it stays more damp than surrounding areas. They also to like to grow on any decomposing organic matter. Maybe you could pull the mulch away from that area until it has a chance to dry out?
Other than altering the conditions to deter the mold, removing it manually whenever it appears is about all you can do. That I know of, anyway.

Sean, I had the same lovely stuff last year! It was very hot and humid, at the time! The grandkids loved it Looking at it - that is! I first spotted it early in the morning...it looked just like bright yellow scrambled eggs! Unfortunately, I did not take photos until later in the day...

I actually hope we get to see some again this year!
