I'm sorry to say I'm not much of a plant expert, but my mom is. I'll see if she knows what it is. hmm

Did you plant them with other plants? I know some about plants, but I looked it up and if you plant them in an unnatural habitat to the plants, it can cause soil pathogens (the fungus you see.)

Thanks for adding more spam

It could be a type of moss. Is it bright green and has really small tufts?

It could also be a type of lichen but I'm not really sure whether that grows on soil. Or it could be some kind of fungus that was in the soil already. Pictures would be helpful.

What kind of carnivorous plants? tongue

luiysia · 2012-04-07 20:17:24

BTW, if you think it's fungus then try putting a little cinnamon (REAL cinnamon, none of that fake cassia stuff) on the fungus to test it - it kills fungus, so there'll be a spot where it's not there. If it works then use a fungicide, because cinnamon can inhibit roots.

Of course this is mostly just guessing, so don't blame me if everything dies.

If there's fungus on Venus flytraps it'll kill them.

Hmmm, I can't tell if that's a fungus or just moss from the pics. But it looks like a moss to me.

Whether it's harmful or not depends on the fungi (or whatever that green thing is) - some fungi can actually have a symbiotic relationship with plants. I guess if you want to play it safe you can scrape the green stuff off, otherwise just leave it on there and see if it has an effect on the Venus Flaytraps. I'd imagine if it's just moss, it won't really do anything bad.

From ehow.com-

You might notice white or green shiny mold growing on the potting soil of your indoor plants or on the soil in your garden. This is a common type of mold caused by saprophytic fungi. This white mold is unattractive, but it is only a nuisance fungus and not harmful to plants
Saprophytic mold is caused by fungi that feed on the high organic matter found in potting soil and dirt. Fungi cannot produce its own food, so it must use the nutrients found in soil in order to survive and reproduce.
Since saprophytic mold is harmless, chemical control is not recommended. This type of mold will remain until it completes its life cycle. Once the cycle is complete, saprophytic mold on soil will disappear on its own with no action on your part.
If you do want to remove the saprophytic mold on the soil of your indoor plant or in your garden, you can rake or scrape the mold from the soil and dispose of it.

I think this is what it is.

A higher-resolution picture would help A LOT. i.e. Not uploaded with scratch.

Fungus tends to sprout in damp places, probably just coincidence it sprouted there tongue
