This is one for @Teresa

Noted the recorded date was 13/05/2024 so am guessing you were unable to follow this one the next day.
On looking at its formation and adherence to the grass stems I am suggesting it may be Leocarpus fragilis.
Note, only a suggestion, as we do require to see the mature specimen. Its always best to do microscopic examination to be certain, so when ever you find these its always best to return a few hours later the same day or the following morning to find the mature state.
Great images, thankyou

Unfortunately I didn't get back until late the following day and all that remained was remnants of a disintegrated slimy mess.

@KenT thanks for the extra effort but unfortunately that is often the way with these gorgeous critters
