jello-like substance on grass

Question

After snow and rain in the metro Denver area late April, I went to mow and found clear jello blobs on various areas of my lawn. It has no odor and is slippery when I walk on it, and it is in quarter size shapes scattered around the grassy areas. What is this stuff?

Answer 1

Thanks, Shelley, I guess I just need some sun shiny days to dry out my lawn and a good thatch rake.

Answer 2

I do believe it is a strain of slime mold:
