Karen, I remembered where it was, and a smaller area of it grew nearby just as this one was in its last stages. Then, it popped up about 100 feet away by my front step! Nice idea, Maria. Changing it now... :-)
I think I like the common name scrambled egg slime better
It would be cool (if it's on your property) to put a flag there and see if it comes back again when conditions are favorable again!
