Can anyone tell me what this yellow stuff is that’s growing at the base of my aloe? When I touch it, it’s quite hard, but it’s just sort of sitting on top of the soil. TIA!

Strange. It looks like fairy cups fungus

I did a bit of research, and saved an article about this stuff; I think you’re right, it must be fairy cup fungus. If you’re interested in the article, let me know where to send it. By the way, TXS for the info!

PS. How did you know what this stuff was? TIA!

Because you get all kinds of stuff growing in terrariums and paludariums, especially when you harvest stuff from outdoors 😆
