I have seen slimemold in a friend's yard--it looks like flattened egg yokes that move--only too slow for the naked eye to see. Friend told me that he read something new about it and that it has some kind of brain or something. I will have to look THAT ONE up!

Just looked up stink horns and I read that they attract a lot of flies that spread the spores! Also, they can smell like dog poo. Hard to get rid of. Hope NorthRaleighLiberal checks in soon!
