I live on four acres with just my husband and we have never poured oil on our property or anywhere else for that matter. I came outside this morning to finish spreading my rye grass seed and found a semicircle of what appeared to be oil but upon closer inspection, it appears to be eggs of some kind. Can some one please help me with this mystery?
Maybe not eggs but a fungus of some kind?
Possibly a slime mold - http://www.ehow.com/how_4881109_rid-black-mold-lawn.html
These are not a true fungus - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slime_mold
Thanks for your help, I did a bit of research on the links you provided and I believe it is a slime mold. It is just so scary looking! Thanks again
Definitely a slime mold.
