I beleive it is some type of fungus. I tried grabbing one and the stem was very limp. The black tar looking stuff was dripping out of the top and onto my grass. It sticks to and tracks everywere. These stems are about 1 to 2 inches long and it drops black stuff out of the top. It was only visible in the morning, by afternoon you cant see the stems. It is growing in my new lawn. (Kentucky blue grass), i did put some composted mulch down, and mixed it in with my soil before putting down the sod.

Stinkhorn fungus. Likely feeding on the mulch. Harmless and will only be around for a week or two at the most.

The Compost you put down is the culprit, the resulting fungy is only temporary.Have patience and it will disappear soon.
