MY lawn has just been invaded by these strange fungus like yellow '
things ' ,
they appeared over the last 24 hours , and I am wondering just what they
are and whether they can be removed.
My lawn is not in the best of health , to put it mildly , but recently
there have been small mushrooms/toadstools appearing all over the lawn
and now these strange things, about 1" in length.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Neale

It's a species in the genus Clavulinopsis. There are three or four
yellow ones like this, the largest of which can grow to about six inches
and is delightfully called Golden Spindles, though that's more usually
found on grassy heaths. Examining the spores for colour and shape is the
best way of telling them apart.

Thanks for the help , I didn't realise that there were so many variations of this fungi , I think the version I have is the Clavulinopsis Helvola , I'll check them later on today to make sure.
Thanks again ,Neale.
