Rhizopus oryzae
White fuzz growing off an old dog scat. I was babysitting my sister's dog 2 weeks ago. So the growing agent has probably been there that long.
Long grass, wet from the leaves and late winter rain and fog. Optimum growing conditions.
I'm probably weird, even for PN. Taking pictures of moldy dog poop?
