Muck

Other Common Names:

(muck)

Native

Muck is made of decomposing organic material, can be brown to black, and have an unpleasant odor.

Description

Muck is typically brown to black and feels squishy when stepped in or picked up. Because it is formed from decomposing plants and animals, it can have a foul odor.

 

Dead plants and algae usually sink to the bottom and decompose. This decomposing material can build up, providing nutrients for future plant growth and creating an unpleasant feeling when stepped into.

Location

Muck can be found across the United States.
