Seen on a recent visit to RHS Rosemoor, lots of small patches of what looked
like soap suds, but was more reluctant to disperse when touched, some were
in the form of tube shapes some were as per the picture below, all were on

Slime moulds? That picture doesn't look much like any I have seen,
but your description fits. Search on 'slime moulds foam' for some
pictures.
