Popped up literally overnight, same place as the other issues I’ve had with things appearing!

The only thing you.can do now is cut those off the fungus shoudnt rlly affect the plant too much those tomatoes are still edible

Thats good at least, this little cocktail tomato has been having an awful time since I snagged it from the clearance rack. I doubt she’ll make it past these guys.

#### Honestorchid replied on 2025-05-17

I would see if the fungus would burn off to make it easier for u

#### Honestorchid replied on 2025-05-17

If not crack it of like in the photo

#### Gigi replied on 2025-05-17

Gonna give this a shot and if that doesn’t work I’ll try Sunny’s plan!

### Sunny commented on 2025-05-17

Try a commercial fungicide spray since this is fast growing. Wear disposable gloves. Properly clean tools, hands, clothing and shoes to prevent spreading it.

#### Gigi replied on 2025-05-17

Gonna try burning like Honestorchid suggested first before spending money, but this is next of that doesn’t work!

#### Honestorchid replied on 2025-05-17

Out of curiosity what is the texture of the brown stuff

#### Gigi replied on 2025-05-19

Hard, like a pumice stone but brittle

### Savannahlovesplants commented on 2025-05-18

Oh-no

It’s like ‘dog vomit slime mold.’ Check the online photos.
