The trees are different types though. Coming from the ground is a very yellow oozing matter. It builds up in a pile that then dries out and looks like a sponge. When it is wet it looks almost like a sap. What could this be? Quote \| Reply \| Report

Sort of looks like an elephant threw up on the ground. It is not a pleasant looking piece of glob.
