appeared overnight, so not fungus.  They are eggs and looks like the result of a mass spawning.  I'm not taking any chances and will drown them unless someone tells me they are a force for good?

I'd say they look like ant eggs, but usually ant eggs have loads of ants milling around looking after them...so not sure...

I see what you did, you spilt the tapioca on the soil for us to decide whether it was real or not. ;D

Javahart please do not destroy them, we are all curious as to what they are. Contain them and see what hatches, just hope the have not come from Mars.
