Now this is popping up on wood chips all over my yard. I hit one of the blobs with spray from a hose after it had turned brown. It put out a cloud of "smoke", I assume some kind of spores. What was really interesting was that no matter how much water I sprayed on it, it never seemed to get wet. The spores must have some interesting properties.
They feed on bacteria, fungi, organic matter so this is a good sign of biological activity. I had some growing up on some leaves I added compost tea to. The leaves were perfect in the end though, so just eating the good stuff on the leaf.

Came out today to find this growing atop one of my hugelkultur beds. Really cool looking!

It's never too late to start! I retired to homestead on the slopes of Mauna Loa, an active volcano. I relate snippets of my endeavor on my blog : www.kaufarmer.blogspot.com
I read in another thread where this is actually an amoeba, and that it can move to different locations until it find the resource it wants. Pretty cool.
