Probably a slime mould - perhaps Mucilago crustacea.

Had a quick google and I reckon you’re right Heino.

Not in Canberra nature map, but see it has been reported through ALA out towards Lake George.

Hi Boagshoags and Heino thanks for this record and possible id - I just started to read about the slime moulds. What an interesting group and behaviour. Now I remember that I saw sulphur-yellow things which might have been slime moulds; unfortunately, I didn't take photos...
