LOL.... I know right ? They are crazy lil' invaders but really neat imo. I took a lot of pics of several types that I've found including the ones in my garden . I'll post them to this thread when I get my new computer . There's probably a pocket of mulch, rotted tree roots , or something along that line under there. |

Re: Weird hard shell like growth around only banana tree
I have this come up all in my mulch when it's been rainy. I think they are also called Artillery Fugus because they will shoot their spores out. Look for little black dots on the undersides of you plant leaves and on the side of you house. They can be a big problem getting on you house if you have a light-colored siding or paint where they show up badly. Shouldn't harm your bananas, though.
