Also: What the Hell is this?



While raking up around the knotweed, we found this clump of bright yellow spore-like stuff. It looked like it could be one stage of dog vomit slime mold, but that species crawls on the surface--I'm not aware that it is found under leaf litter and pine needles. Anyone know?

Could be a similar species to this...

I have seen the same thing in some of my plant beds that I mulch... and considering this is under leaf litter and pine needles (which I used to mulch as well as store bought pine bark). This would be my first guess. It looks to be a form of mulch slime/mold

The organism in those forum pictures is definitely dog vomit slime mold.
