Title: White fluffy/powdery stuff
Post by: katog on September 29, 2013, 04:12:57 pm
White fluffy/powdery deposits round the stems of raspberries also large messy splodges on the grass nearby (http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/grapevine/attachments/weeds-pests-diseases/40082d1380467133t-white-fluffy-powdery-stuff-e.jpg) (http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/grapevine/attachments/weeds-pests-diseases/40082d1380467133-white-fluffy-powdery-stuff-e.jpg) doesn't smell bad some is mushy other's dry. Strange stuff do you know what it could be?

That's better, thanks Annie.

Fascinating thing - we had the slimy type of slime mould on the moorland farm; I've never heard of this powdery type before.

That's brilliant  ;D   I want one  :excited:    I remember the TV programme about it and how it can change its shape and get back together if you sieve it, like a sponge.  I don't think it will set off across the garden to get you  :tired:
