I found this growing in my garden. I tossed it into my fire-pit. Does anyone know what this is? Thanks in advanced.

I think it’s a type of slime mold

Thanks for the quick response. It’s weird cause it wasn’t there when I watered it this morning. I freaked out and tossed it.

Yeah of course, huh yeah, I’ve had a similar looking thing pop up in my tomato containers and it’s after I water it, almost like it needs water to activate lol
