I was about to plant something in here this next weekend. Does anyone know what this is? It looks like a fungus I’ve never seen before and don’t know the best and safest way to get rid of it.

It looks like dog vomit slime mold. Basically a harmless mold that grows in moist soil. If you want to get rid of it I just take a shovel and scoop it out but it’s not harmful at all!

Wow! Makes sense with all the rain! I’m surprised I’ve never seen this before. Thank you so much for your quick response and advice :)

No problem!

Could also be flowerpot parasol. They look similar when they start. Also harmless and easy to remove
