This is weird

Hi all

Are there any botanists out there that might be able to help identify this mass.

I'm assuming it is a fungus of some type with a growth rate that is amazing. When I discovered it in the corner of the tomato garden it was no more than a spot 50mm x 50mm.

After approx 1.5 hour and a light rain it had grew to cover 1.0m x 1.5m and about 50mm in depth.

It is yellow/white in colour, has the appearance of foam but when you touch it with a stick it has the consistency of thick cream.

It is really weird stuff for sure. The pictures aren't the best as I had to use a flash as it was getting dark. I'll get some better ones tomorrow if it hasn't turned into the "blob" and absorbed the farmhouse.

Cheers
