Are you saying the roots...
...don't look good?
Pull up a dead 'un. Pythium makes the outer layer on the roots 'slough' off kinda like a sleeve coming off the under part. Picture a hollow noodle sliding off a piece of spaghetti. Take a root with thumb and forefinger and the outer will slip right off, easily, for most pythiums.

You...
...laugh but, industry wide, everything she's said is plant 101.
"Well, the look kinda wilty, so I treated them for pythium and they burned"
"How was the soil?"
"Dry. Why?"

I thougt in your earlier post you were recommending using the pest control pyrithium and you spelled it wrong. You were really talking about a diasese...
Based on what I found on the web, my plants are exhibiting simular symptoms. I'll have to check the roots.
Thanks Homey

Similar...
...to what, pythium symptoms?

Hmm...
...maybe let them get too dry a few times?
Pythium attacks roots weakened/damaged by being too dry, too wet, over fed (too much salt) and so on. Evening watering is bad, too.
Keep me posted.

Probably not...
...in the mulch per se, though that is possible. Think of pythium like the common cold; it's pretty much everywhere all the time and you normally only catch cold if you're already weakened; tired, poor diet, etc. So, pythium attacks weakened plants.
More likely, if you added mulch and that seems to be coincidental with the onset of the problem, my suspicion would be improperly composted mulch or it had/has something else going on that damages roots and makes them susceptible to pythium.
My cousin in Cincinnati has a freaky problem going on right now and we bot think it's the mulch. Pythium is wiping out her wave petunias, one of the easiest growing and most resilient plants out there.
I think there may be some sort of problem related to...Katrina. Huge amounts of material. Easy opportunity for someone to provide cheap, bad mulch.
So, tell me about your mulch.

BTW, could this disease be carried in store bought mulch, what's the best thing to get rid of it?

I need some elaboartion here...
...is it the same mulch put in the same time? We're doing a diagnosis here. Timing, any other application you may have done, fertilizer, common threads, etc.

Mulch applied at the same time. Plants were in the ground about two weeks before mulch added. Minimul fertilizer to start plants, none since. Have watered regularly, no significant rain around here in at least a month.
Soil is rich and drains well, plants get full sun about six hours out of the day. Bed faces south @ 38:00 degrees N, 76:00 degrees W
