    Is it outside? Try putting bleach and water mixture in lawn fertilizer bottle on hose.

    Hi Bonnie. It's a natural process on the mulch. Just turn the mulch over. The fungus won't hurt anything. Happy Gardening!

      True, however, it is all over our outside siding of our home.

    Hi. If it's all over your siding, there's a moisture problem. If your sprinklers are hitting the house, that could be the cause. Adjust so they don't. Use a good stiff scrub brush on the end of a broom handle, dish soap and rinse well. Allow to dry. Then use a paint with mold retardant additive.
