Hi everyone.
I'm not sure if I can post this but I need help from all you nature fundis out there. I have no idea what this is. I have been guessing that it might be frog spawn, but have not been able to identify it.
I found splashes of it on the grass early in the morning. It is about the size of a man's hand. It looks like white foam but when one touches it or turns it over it becomes reddish. It is as if it oxidises. When the sun gets to it it seems to melt and smoothes out to form a hardish shell.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Irmgard |

My best guess would be a slime mould very likely Fuligo candida Nice photo if I am correct then its a species I have never seen before.
