Identification: Help to Identify

Can someone tell me what this is?

Thanks!

 

Some sort of slime mould. They are harmless, working on converting mulch into plant foods.

 

Thanks Michael! Anything I can do to get rid of it? I don't want to spread it around if possible.

 

No need to - as said, they are harmless, and beneficial for plants. They also usually only last a few days. If you don't like the appearance, just use a hoe to turn it over back into the soil.

 

Fuligo septica ??
Mixomycetes...
