The extremely wet conditions .... Witch's Butter

[TortElvisII]

Have caused this to be in a lot of places.

Especially on gravel. If you see it, remain calm. It is not your septic failing. It is not the blob. It is not a UFO or Alien. It is not the gubmit spying on you. It is not Bigfoot droppings. It is a cyanobacterium that loves the fact that we are getting daily severe thunderstorms.

Apparently Witch's Butter is eaten. I will pass.

I have seen it cover 1000 square feet or more in places. Typically, 100 is more common.

No joke, I saw some of that on the side of a road in Lexington during my walk a couple weeks ago. Had no idea. Thought it was a mess load of wet duck crap.

Central Kentucky, in and around Lexington. I travel and get to see all the witches butter you can shake a stick at, CKY got the butter.

It looks like a combination of duck, and deer poo. No judgement.

I was always confused because I have heard people call it nostoc and thought they were saying "no stock" because folks never use the actual name. I also thought it was just a fungus.

I can remember seeing it all over gravel following a summer rain and then it would nearly disappear after the ground dried.

Saw a bunch last week on the gravel down by my lake. Had no clue what it was. Looked nasty. It seems to have disappeared now
