Starting the month off with a strange find - This yellow fungus (I guess) popped up over night - it's about 2-1/2" in diameter and looks like a sponge. It's fairly soft to the touch and the only one around. It came up in the middle of the grass running along the little creek.
@dulciknit that picture sure looks like it - it seems to be a mold rather than a fungus according to that site - it sure was unlike anything I'd seen before. Thanks for hunting this up. :)
