    During this summer I noticed spots on my lawn of black mold. They were small so I didn't pay much attention. During the past month we had a lot of rain and the mold spread. I've noticed it on the sidewalks and stone walkway. Even though the lawn gets plenty of sunshine, the mold has not gone away.

    Is there some kind of lawn food/chemical that is safe for animals that can be put on this. I try to keep my pet off the mold as I don't know what kind of effect it would have on the dog.

    I have also noticed mushroom growth on the mulch areas. The mushrooms turn to a powdery mold (mostly black, yellow and white) could this have something to do with it. We had the back area filled with mulch over the summer and I am not sure where this mulch came from.

    Please help.
