Redish dust over yellow substance, is this a fungus?

Jul 05, 2005 3 Replies

I was working outside, and found this two stops on the gound, like mounds of fine red dust. I noticed it because I was watering with the hose and if drops fell on it, it would release dust like smoking. Very odd. Under the dust there is this yelow substance, looks like a



1/8" think, bright yellow.

I suspect it is some king of a fungus. Any ideas about what it is? I am located in DFW, North Texas area.
