OMGWTFisthat?????!!!

It sounds like a fungus that is happy enough to produce mushrooms. But it could also be some sort of insect eggs. Try cutting one of those suckers in half. If it's spongy it's a mushroom.

I don't know but you have one awesome camera.

iPhone 7 camera. Heh.

I don't even want to touch the stuff. I think it's too small to really tell if it's spongey or not. I cut the grass out with a shovel and threw it into the neighbors yard.

I found a few more of those things in nearby spots, so I gave them the same treatment.

....but seriously WTF is that stuff

Hahahahahaha

What the helllllllll.

Lol. This is the best thread ever. The responses are priceless!!!

@owlnsr: Just to be safe you might want to douse the lawn with gasoline and light it on fire. Might as well burn the house down as well just to make sure you got everything. :)

Just when I thought I'd seen it all.

Danielj_2009: I think you identified it with that first link. It appears to be some form of Stemonitis, a slime mold.... possibly stemonitis axifera. In reading about Stemonitis, it grows on old decaying wood. The area I found the "alien eggs" were within 2-3 feet of an old decaying tree stump.

Still weird that it's growing right on the turf blades. Heh.
