Last, here's a close up - sorry it's blurry - you hopefully can see the darkening of the thing as it ages. When I try to remove these growths they are firmly attached & sometimes snap off with pieces still anchoring them in the ground. Sometimes they come off cleanly but they always come back.......If you can help me figure out how to get rid of this I'd really, really appreciate it. Thank you & sorry this post is so long, hopefully it makes some sense. If you need better photos I can take some more - would it help to have some photos of pieces of this stuff that I've removed? Let me know
