We found these looks like thousands of little round eggs in our flowerbed on top of mulch, can anyone identify them?

I could be wrong about this, but that looks to me like some kind of "moss". I have experienced both "moss" and "algae" in my indoor zinnia pots, and both have been catastrophic, in that the moss or algae consume all the available nutrients and starve the zinnia seedling to death or severely stunt it. I suggest you remove the moss and put it out on a dry sunny spot where it will hopefully die. Some people actually plant a species of moss as a shady landscape "plant". But in my experience it "does not play well with others."
