Mike,
I'm not an expert but i have seen similar. I grow in outside
conditions as a virtual bog. Most years I use Sphagnum as a living
medium. certain areas will mold and decay or develop a fungus.
A friend of mine told me this may be an algea growth choking out you
sphagnum.
Can anyone else comment or advise
