This stuff has been appearing more frequently lately. Here are some pics. This patch appeared within the past two days, it is a pale yellow colour and has the consistency of a mousse pudding:

The next patch is several days old. It goes crusty with age and when poked with a stick, it appears dried and powdery inside.

This patch is over a week old. When disturbed it disappears into the finest carbon-like powder you can imagine and leaves virtually no trace.

Any ideas? It only affects my palm garden at the back of the yard. It is not a fungus. It has no root structure. The soil is natively heavy clay but has been topped with topsoil. I have covered the soil with Euc mulch, topped up several months ago. I have used molasses once, applied directly onto the soil around the main plants. When I have planted the plants I have sprinkled Dynamic Lifter pellets into the holes first. The goo appears randomly, not necessarily near any one species of plant. Is it a matter of excess nutrients leeching out? Is it a matter of wrong soil type for my plants? Is it something to do with our cool, wet summer? Is it the Return of the Jedi????
