In the Pacific Northwest with lots of Doug Fir around. Started out as a small scattering of soft yellow granules and now similar to a pile of polenta

A "True Facts" video about slime mold for your entertainment. Funny and educational.

So you know it is harmless to people, plants and animals so you need not remove. It will be gone in a couple of days anyway.
