Dog vomit fungus growing up my tomato plant

I had no idea this was called very aptly dog vomit fungus.  Someone had a sense of humor.  I get this in my wood chips, and usually just ignore it.  It's just doing its job, not hurting anything (though not very appealing to look at).  Yesterday I noticed it growing up the stem of my tomato plant.  I haven't even mulched this garden yet. I'm a bit stumped on this one. Do I take the normal approach and leave it be?  Do I remove it?  Just wondering what you knowledgeable folks think should be done.  My garden is always making sure I learn something new.  Thanks for your help.

I would leave it, and see what happens. Unless it was your one and only tomato tree. I am sure its mycellium is all over the garden already.

I am going to second what S Bengi said.  I imagine that the fungus being on your tomato plants is really a coincidence and that really it is coming from the mulch around your tomato.

Personally I see dog vomit fungus as a good sign.  It means that you have healthy microbes growing in your woodchips.
