Lurking in the lawn

Another strange life form has just popped up in my back yard, specifically in the lawn.  In the first photo below, you will see a pale yellow growth that I've identified as "false puffball slime mold" -- try searching Google Images for other photos.  You might recall me introducing you to "regular" slime mold back in 2016 (Mixed flora and fauna -- 7/09/16) and also back in 2015 ("Slime mold" is for real -- 8/21/15).  The second photo gives you some  perspective of the size of the false puffball; you'll see it at the bottom of the photo.  The rose bed behind it is what I call my REHAB bed, where I'm trying various things to stimulate growth in some of my laggard 'Voodoo' seedlings.
