moldicide or common laundry soap.

If it is a fungus growing on the leaves of the grass, that might be
true, but I think it is unlikely to be the case. If it is a fungus
growing in the ground, and producing fruiting bodies, in the manner of
mushrooms, then spraying it won't stop it. There is no practical way of
ridding your lawn of fungus like that. Your nursery made a sale and
made you feel happy you were doing something about it, but it won't
actually work.

Uh, the nursery didn't sell me anything, and the sprinkling of laundry soap
killed the first one I tried it on.

What can it all mean?

You know, you might take a picture of it (and c/c alt.nature.mushrooms,
too). I don't know but to me it sounds more like a slime mold.
