Ringworm has nothing to do with worms, it is actually a fungal infection. Ringworm is first and foremost an infectious skin condition and can occur anywhere on the body, but if it develops on the scalp it can cause patches of hair loss.

It sounds as though your mulch has developed artillery or shotgun fungus (Sphaerobolus stellatus). The black specks are spore masses of the fungus.

This fungus develops in wood-based mulches under cool, moist conditions.
