See above photos.

I have a raised bed and I saw these "plants" growing about three or
four weeks ago. They have grown really quickly.
I emptied all the compost from my tomato pots on the bed in the autumn
- I was going to dig it in to the raised bed.
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.

It looks like a moss of some sort.

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.

You don't give any indication of size.
Cat mess that isn't properly buried often sprouts a mould that looks
like a tallish fur.

Definitely a fungus. I have seen it many times since I have two cats.
Kay is probably right with her 'Phycomyces' fungus. It is simply
breaking down the cat poo, and is best left to get on with it.

Looking on it positively - at least it marks the spot where I need to
remove the excrement ;-)
