Hello, I'm making this thread quickly so I can't post any pictures (I will post some when I get back though!)
I've got some small yellow things growing on a mulch (composted wood chips) They're not a 'foam' like some search results have answered with, they're a yellow round and currently standing at less than one cm the top of them does not extend outwards but remains inline with the rest of its 'body' + the top of it does not point upwards, it has a slight indent on it. Any ideas? Like I said I'll post pictures Thank you0

Sounds like a fungi of some kind Chris but difficult without a pic - for me anyway!
Someone else might be along soon to help.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
please accept my applogiesfor terrible picture quality, while we on the subject of identifying things i also found this in my garden grass...
^^ this is the thing ive founf on the lawn, any ideas on what it is? (im only curiousas we have dogs)
^^ this is what is growing on the mulch, im so sorry for the terrible picture. over all, would these be dammaging towards my plants? im more tha happy to share the garden with them. thanks
The first pic looks like Fairy Ring toadstools (how appropriate at Midsummer
). Brush them off before mowing or if you're worried about the dogs eating them.
No idea what the little yellow blobs are, but they'll be some sort of fungi breaking down the mulch - they won't harm your plants - the world depends on fungi breaking down organic matter

I've been looking at some pictures of fungus and they look like the early development of 'jelly spot fungus'
