What is this?

So I step out of the house this morning to take Bridget for a walk
and this is what I see in the flower bed beside the stairs.
What is this???
It truly looked like someone had thrown up mustard all over the mulch...
but I have come to believe it is a puffy, bacteria filled fungus.
But how did it grow this big and ugly overnight???
I am a little grossed out and moderately disturbed.
EEEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!!

  3. It's a fungus caused from urine, or feces from an animal, remove it, and spray the soil with 50/50 bleach and water, sun dry!
