Does this look familiar to anyone? I have this growing in my pasture this fall. It is off green, gelatinous and strange. I have not seen it before.

Its a type of algae (I think its algae) called nostoc that grows in lawns (or pastures).

Thank you, it has been raining non stop for a week, I don't see where it is toxic to anything in the article although it doesn't actually say so, I would expect if it were, they would mention it. Funny how for every plant we want to grow, there is another clinger that comes along with it.
