If you have white web like stuff on your mulch it is almost 100% spider mites.

How do I get rid of it? Or do I let it run it’s course

Hi there, I’m guessing it mycelium (ie a fungus network), which is not a bad thing. I generally don’t bother doing anything if I see it as it’s not harmful

Fungus. It’s not spider mites unless you see a stocking like webbing all over and the mites that built them. Treat with a fungicide if you find it unsightly.

Will it hurt the plants if I do nothing?

#### Sunny antwortete am 2025-05-01

It won’t hurt. But, it can continue to spread including onto the plants.
