Weird! Witch's butter here in the states is two species: Dacrymyces sp., such as D. palmatus, and this one. Fuligo septica is known here as the Dog Vomit Slime Mold or the Scrambled Egg Slime.

Cool.

I'm more familiar with the common name "Witch's butter" given to slime mold, especially Fuligo septica.
