What is this on my grass?

I just sodded this yard three months ago with Emerald Zoysia. Can anyone ID this? I looked it up and came up with Slime Mold. It's only in a handful of places.

What is Slime Mold?
Slime mold is another fungus that can be seen as a white powder on grass blades. Slime mold can be found on all types of cool-season, warm-season grasses and grassy weeds. Most commonly appearing after long sustained periods of wet weather, leaving wet grass leaves for extended periods. Areas with poor drainage and heavy thatch also may increase the chances of slime mold appearing. Slime mold can be found from late spring to late fall. Slime mold does not harm the grass plant, but its sudden appearance on turfgrass can be annoying and somewhat alarming to a rookie. Plant vigor may be slightly diminished in severe cases due to excessive growth of the fungus covering the leaf surface, inhibiting photosynthesis, but not in typical cases. Slime molds are known to reoccur in the same location each year. - Makes sense with all the rain we've had.
How to Treat Slime Mold.
Best treatment for the occasional flare-up of light to moderate slime mold is to leave it to Mother Nature to take her course. Heavy infestations can be removed by mowing, raking, or sweeping the spores off with a broom. Chemical management is not typically recommended.

How much of that did you plant. I planted 28 pallets in 2005. It's beautiful when fertilized and maintained well, but it's a lot of work.

If you don’t start cutting that a hell of a lot shorter you are going to hate life, and your lawn. Good luck.

I was asking. I also searched the innerwebs for an answer, then came and posted what I found and was asking for confirmation. One poster confirmed it. I moved on. You came to troll. Go away Barner.
