Lava around the base of laurels

I've recently placed chicken manure around the base of some struggling laurels bushes, but just noticed it is now riddled with lava! Will it eventually migrate and eat the roots ?

Depends what it is but unlikely
In the sticks near Peterborough
when I saw lava I thought the red, very hot kind! lol
most likely maggots from flies, once the chicken manure pellets get wet they turn back into normal manure, so flies lay their eggs on it. no harm to the plants and bonus for hungry birds at this time of the year!
ha ha no not the hot lava (larva) darn predictive text and thank you all very useful ??
