Good morning 

 There's an entire world in that yellow patch. 

 I drop all kinds of mushroom caps on that mulch. Done so for 5 years. 

 Excellent. 

 Slime mold i believe. Aka dog vomit fungus 

It’s super beneficial in breaking down the soil. 

I notice it more myself on rot resistant species like cedar. But that may just be me. 

 This is all essentially pine trash. I have big piles of it under huge trees. 

 It seems you’ve entered a new world of fascination for the fungi 🤓

 It will consume. Consume is what it will do.
