Do you have any wetlands near where you live? A photo would be very helpful too.....if possible.

Just wondering whether they might develop into little yellow toadstools - its the time of year for them. If they do its nothing to worry about and they will disappear again in a week or so. If not as Loosestrife says a photo would help a lot.

do you have a bird feeder in the area? could be the wheat/corn seed in that. a photo is essential really as already said.

I have Golden spindles fungi (Clavulinopsis fusiformis)growing in my grass which sort of fits your description.

Think you've got it Klahanie - I forgot about those. Nice aren't they?

Caryllwood how do you like our responses? Have they been helpfull to you?
