Hi David, 

 

Its near a young tree in the grass under mature oaks and otherwise it is a closest to a mulch circle with woodchip. I saw the same on top of a pile of woodchip on the site come to think of it.

I can’t really tell to be honest but it ‘looks’ like a dried out slime mold like a Fuligo sp

Ok tks. Just saw your reply

This is also nearby on the wood chip, probably same thing

Yeah that's the charmingly named Dog's Vomit Slime Mould Fuligo septica.?

Not to be confused with the similar Dog's Vomit Slime Mould Mucilago crustacea which occurs in grass.
