Hello! I'm new to this forum and thought I'd ask my question here. I didn't find answers by Googling either. This morning, I was tending to my flowerpots. I noticed that one of them is growing, what looks like, black hair. It's standing straight up at about two-three inches and is not attached to a plant. This flowerpot had just dirt in it as I had already removed the plant that was previously in there. Any ideas of what this is? I'm stumped.
Weird, black hair-like thing growing in flower pots

I am pretty sure it is a mold and believe it or not it is named Hairy Poop Mold. Harmless

My reply would have been 'Probably fungal and harmless', Chuck seems a bit more clued up on the particulars.
Welcome to the forum, lots here if you look around.

Thank you! That's a funny name, but pretty accurate since it looks like hair.
