A Rash of Fungi

After a long dry spell the weather here has become much wetter and we've had a rash of fungi appearing in our lawn.

The first to emerge was a swarm of toadstools as shown in this picture. This didn't surprise us as this is now a regular event after heavy rain.


However, this morning something strange and unheralded appeared. The lawn was covered in a yellow frothy substance. Does anyone know what this fungus is? It looks quite pretty, but I have a feeling that it could be deadly!

I would not touch it.
When we lived in Baltonsborough near Glastonbury we used to get mushrooms grow on the meadow and we ate them. Richard.
