Help ! Something weird is growing on my lawn
Any Botonists, UFOlogists or Ghostbusters out there ?
I have 3 big piles of transparent goop on my lawn! They are about 15 to 20cm in diameter, are quite transparent and have been there for a couple of weeks (I’m too freaked out to touch them but I did poke one with a stick).
I’m hoping (really hoping) that they are just some sap fallen from the tree that sits in the center of the lawn.
Anyone have any ideas ?

Blob Number 2
Blob Number 3
[Update] Apparently they are slime mould….
