Found during a wet summer in scandinavian.
Mostly pine trees and beech forest
Looks like slime mold to me, particularly Fuligo Septica.

That does look like it. Quite a variety of common names:
Fuligo septica is a species of slime mold in the class Myxomycetes. It is commonly known as scrambled egg slime or flowers of tan[2] because of its peculiar yellowish appearance. It is also known as dog vomit slime mold or Jasmine mold and is relatively common with a worldwide distribution, often being found on bark mulch in urban areas after heavy rain or excessive watering.
Thank you!
Would Dog Vomit Slime Mold be considered Fuligo Septica, or is it different?
I get that the Dog Vomit part is a common name or nickname, just wondering if it’s the same stuff?
It’s the same. I know it as Dog Vomit Slime, but there seem to be a ton of regional names for it. Scrambled Egg Slime is one of the more inviting names, but I’ll always prefer my dog vomit.
Thanks for that! Completely agree on Dog Vomit over Scrambled Eggs. Guessing that stuff does not need an appetizing name.
It's obviously yellow. Trust me, I am an expert.
What's it taste like?
I can't remember
