There are two patches of this in my grass and a neighbor, several miles away, saw the same thing on their grass. It looks like some kind of eggs to me but I really don't know. Anyone?
Has Anyone Seen This?
I think it is a type of black sooty mold, not eggs.

I think you're right, Josephine.
It may even be this, slime mold:

Howard Garrett (the Dirt Doctor) identified it as slime mold. Terrible name but rather harmless mold. Thanks!!
Thank goodness it is harmless
