I found some newly formed white areas in the shady part of my garden today. I'm located in NW Ohio. The white egg-like mounds are laying on cocoa garden mulch and leaves laying in the erea. Fungus? Bug eggs? Frog eggs? Should I remove it or leave it be? The area is moist with all the rain we have been getting lately. I've never seen these in my garden before.

Here are links to more pictures:

This might be a slime mold in an early stage of development - see http://www.freewebs.com/slimemold/sm2.bmp and http://www.plantpath.iastate.edu/pdc/files/Image/slime%20mold%20on%20turf%20copy.jpg for examples.
