I don't know this from personal experience because I'm a new gardener, but I just read somewhere - can't remember where - that it's most likely a harmless fungus that looks ugly but all you have to do is pick it out and throw it away. Try watering less, too much moisture may be encouraging its growth.
Reply:Fungus kinda like mushrooms.
Reply:It could be a type of fungi. This is not all bad.
Reply:It is a variant of moss. You need to adjust the level of pH in your flower bed by adding some Powdered Lime.

Depending on the size of the area, a small bag (1 lb) should help you- use an old colander %26amp; shake @ 1 cup over the area about every 3 weeks; you should also invest in a simple pH Tester.
