Message: [QUOTE="Marck, post: 218068, member: 15114"] I was able to see your pics on the other post. I'll paste in the same reply here. That is a Fungus or possibly a Slime Mold (Mycetozoa). It is [U]not[/U] the eggs of any sort of animal. It [I]might[/I] be the mycelial stage of [I]Leucocoprinus birnbaumii, [/I]a basidomycete fungus that forms distinctive yellow mushrooms in tropical, greenhouse, and houseplant environments. However, that identification is only tentative. I don't think this fungus is directly pathogenic, though the moist soil conditions it prefers may be detrimental to some plants. The leaf damage on the [I]Yucca[/I] is unrelated to the fungus. Whatever caused the leaf damage [I]might[/I] no longer be present. Have you seen fresh damage since bringing it home? [/QUOTE]
