White Cauliflower-Like Fungus on Soil: Rake, Don't Spray

Judy has a recurring white, cauliflower-textured growth on soil in one yard area. Scraping and treatments failed. Cutting back water didn't help.

It's a Fungus—Mostly Underground

What you see are reproductive structures. The main body is a network of hyphae in the soil, feeding on organic matter.

Management, Not Eradication

• Break it up with a hard rake regularly.
• Fungicides can suppress but rarely eliminate it.
• It's not harming plants—just decomposing organic material.

Best approach: Ignore it cosmetically, or rake when it appears. It's a natural part of soil ecology.
