Nasty grey heap of stuff
There was an overgrown mess of poppies, cornflowers, ladies mantle, lavendar and a small smoke bush in my not large garden. Whilst ruthlessly hacking back this heap i uncovered several mysterious piles like grey ash... i put a polybag over them and tied it to prevent spreading before binning it... but how comes i have never seen it in the 7 years we have had the garden? it was a frost free winter, no rain for a couple of weeks and hot windless weather, all rare for us in the Scottish Borders next to the sea....
HELP! anyone got any ideas?, 2 of the heaps were not 'up' anything, but one was round a grass stem.

I think I need a photo and a description of the texture
In the sticks near Peterborough
2 possibilities come to mind:
1) some of dead crew of the Red Dwarf after the radiation leak
2) the white/grey powder fungus you get when things (eg wood chippings) rot down. It's not harmful apparently.
