Yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon I noticed a spot about 12" X 3" of a bright
yellow slime sitting on top of my hardwood mulch (with direct sun
exposure).
It had the look and consistency almost like an animal vomited...except
that
the color was SO bright yellow that it looked artificial. I poked it with
a
stick revealing a consistency similar to a thick molasses and had a
slightly
sweet odor.

Early this morning (Wednesday) I wheeled out my trash and noticed that the
patch was now about 3" high, has a light powdery shell and firm-moist
center. It has almost behaved like a very slow acting liquid foam
insulation
like used in home building/repair. I suspect some type of fungus but it
was
in such a liquid form yesterday I have some doubt.

Anyone have an idea what this might be?


slime mold

A quick search on Yahoo and b-i-n-g-o, you are correct. Thanks!
