I know what has caused the plants to grow: I have seen next door's cat
using it as a toilet.
The growths are definitley growing where the cat muck is.
I wonder has it fertilized something that was already in the compost -
or, or is what is growing in what the cat left behind?
I would be interested in similar experiencws, or just opinions.

Phycomyces fungus could be a possibility - google and see what you think.
Googling "fungus faeces" quickly got to a lot of images similar to yours, which all led to Phycomyces.
