White slime mold?

20 years ago

I seem to have a strange mold growth in my bin.

Seems to travel up sides and sit on top of the shredded paper.

Looks like a mold with the fractal fingers.

It's white more like ivory, has form, but can be liquified easily.

Is this a white slime mold?

I almost think it is a yeast.

I notice the bin has the usual worm smell (earthy with the smell of mold) and think it's a little stronger when the mold is on top.

My solution for control is take the molding paper and put it deep into the bin and then spray the sides with water to get rid of spores/mold/food.

I'm using a plastic bin, lots of drainage. OSCR JR design.

Any idea what type of mold this is. Any harm?
