sounds like Slime molds are primitive organisms that lack cell walls and flow or move like amoebae over low lying objects and vegetation, such as turfgrasses, strawberries, bedded flowers, ground covers, alfalfa and clovers, plantains, dandelions, mulches and growing media, bases of trees, and even sidewalks and driveways. These organisms are not parasitic but feed on decaying organic matter, fungi, and bacteria in the straw and soil. Generally, slime molds do little damage to living plants, but may cause some yellowing by shading the affected leaves. Moist, warm weather, and high soil moisture favor the fruiting of slime molds

Good news Carl is the slimy green mold contributes to the decomposition of dead vegetation. Bad news is it feeds on bacteria, yeasts, and fungi. My guess is that the humidity level in your greenhouses is a little high. If it were me, I would improve air flow.

I read the same site Jeff did (IPM), sounds like there is too much moisture but not too much to worry about.
