A mag dedicated to the world of mycology. Feel free to post anything related to it. Because of the experience on reddit, where the "main" mycology sub got flooded with ID requests, we will have a separate community for identification requests and strict rules!
A search highlighted a couple of things:
The fruit bodies are non-toxic, though not recommended to consume as it can cause gastrointestinal distress.
The fruit bodies will dry and dissappear on their own, or you can scoop, bag, and trash them if you like.
The amoeba likes dead wood, so maybe get rid of the mulch in your garden if you don't want to see it return next year.
Do with that what you will, but it doesn't sound like your food is at risk to me.
Awesome I will probably scoop them up in a bag till they dry out and then compost them. Where did you find out about them being non toxic may I ask? They seem really interesting since they started as little orange balls and turned brownish with age.
For that, I searched if wolf's milk was edible. There were multiple sources indicating non-toxic, though inedible.
A caveat about the identification, everything I saw about wolf's milk indicated it was pink, then brown. If the identification is off, that might not be correct. In any case, if it's turned brown, it's in the spore stage, so definitely wear a mask before handling.
It does start out pink but goes orange before going brown. Mine have already gone brown but this is an image online of what it looks like when it is orange.
I will definitely have to wear a mask before handling them.
