Dog vomit slime mold is one of the most common and noticed slime molds.
I found this odd-looking mass at the base of my tree in the village parkway. Is there something wrong with my tree?There is nothing wrong with your tree that I can see from looking at the photo. The mass on the ground in the photo looks like dog vomit slime mold that is starting to dry up. Slime molds, of which there are many different kinds, can be found on a variety of surfaces, especially those with decomposing organic matter like there is around your tree.
You may also see it during dry periods if you are watering on a regular basis. It can appear quickly and has a yellow, whitish, or tan color to it and look like a foamy patch of dog vomit or scrambled eggs. The initial more brightly colored mass will eventually turn to a more of a brown, leathery mass with crusty-looking fruiting bodies that are filled with spores. The spores are then dispersed to create new dog slime mold patches.
