Found this in our garden this morning. There is another small pile that is on a paving stone but is 'drying up' (?) in the heat. It looks like big, but clear, frogspawn.

But,what is it?

Fungus?
Or 'Star jelly' from a meteor shower?

Dont think its fungus callistemon as the other bit is drying up and it wasn't there yesterday.

Salt crystals that have oozed from the slabs

Snail or slug eggs?

Tanith you could well be right.

Looks like wet silica gel. Have you had any parcels delivered with the little sachets inside?

Water retaining crystals which you add to hanging baskets look like this.
