Can anyone identify this animal?
Hi,
I recently bought a house, and the garden has been 'returned to nature' shall we say.
There's a clump of nettles down near the bottom of the garden (no fence), and I found this animal 'deposit', I'm thinking either badger or fox perhaps? It looks slimy.
Don't want to disturb any wildlife, so just want to ID what animal is visiting me.
Here's the photo, Sorry it's gross.

Someone with more knowledge might be able to confirm and/or give you more details.
Edited to add: OK, so I finally found the thread from several years ago and my thought is that it is nostoc algae. Maybe google and see if you agree?
Thanks very much for your help everyone
As I discovered, if you don't ask you never find out
