How are you so sure?

Could it be a slime mold?

See

It could indeed, the very stuff.... thank you...

Not sure how you'd get rid of it, spray with a suitable fungicide?

Sorry about the mould->mold spelling, but google gives more results for the American spelling ...

I contacted "an Expert" and he advises....." It is not a slime mould. Looks more like an alga than a fungus but I'm afraid I couldn't give it a name. "

Back to "square one"!! :-)

Nevr mind what it is. Slosh some brick acid/patio cleaner over it and hose it away.

I would prefer to find out what it is EXACTLY first. If for instance it is slime mould it is impossible to eradicate and best to leave alone and it will disappear over time. Blasting with flame / water / other agents simply spreads the problem... I also try to avoid using any chemicals, in general and certainly not until I know exactly what I am dealing with and what is the proven solution...

Hi,

This web site might help, (if not it's an interesting read...):

cheers, Pete.

But it's _fun_ !

I was almost about to ask for a culture sample and see if I could grow some myself. The perfect Christmas pet - forget Sea Monkeys, now you can have your very own Blob.

You could try asking Steve McQueen or Natalie Wood how to kill it ?
