White stuff on lawn

 Every morning, we find white mounds of stuff on our new lawn the size of
dinner plates.  It looks like wet bread pieces.  It dissolves and goes away
with a spray, but they are now there every day.  Anyone know of what these
are?  I got some Mold King, of such, at HD for $1 a gallon, and might try
some on a spot.

Thanks

 
Take a sample in to your neighborhood nursery.  They may have seen it
before.  Better to find out what it is rather than spray on
your lawn blindly.

If you do, be careful how you handle it and package it; I doubt that
your local nursery would be happy to have you bring in something that
kills their stock.

I'd not bring it anywhere.  Take some high resolution photos, then do
some research and comparisons, and if stumped bring the photos to
someone claiming expertize.  I've had luck emailing photos to botanic
gardens, conservatories, and colleges.  There are plenty of web sites
one can tap for assistance in identification, I've used this a few
times because I occasionally find odd looking mushrooms on my
property:

I solved the mystery today, and it is quite interesting.

We got a part shihtzu dog from the rescue center about a year ago.  This dog
is just off the chart when food is brought out.  She shakes.  Vet says it is
because of her hungry puppyhood, and it will be permanent, but she'll get
better with knowing she will be fed.

Today, I found a pile, and blew it apart with a garden hose.  It was the
mushrooms that have been coming up in our newly sodded yard.  Thankfully
they are obviously non poisonous, but she's been grazing and gorging and
then upchucking.

Poor little gal.  We're working with her.  She's a soft little doll
otherwise.
