    Aren't they gorgeous?  What a lovely colour. image Fungi grow on decomposing plant matter which is what you've got in your mulch and they're a normal part of the cycle of things.  They'll do no harm - please don't worry about them. Enjoy them as part of Nature's wonderfully diverse array.  They'll stop appearing when the weather gets colder.

    Of course, some of them might well be edible too, but unless they're individually identified by an expert, you won't be eating them will you! image
