What caused the old dog poop in the backyard to get covered in webbing?

Home More advice Pets & Animals

In the dog waste area in our backyard, we've got at least 8 piles that are now covered in what looks like a fair amount of spider webbing. I'm not sure if it really is spider web though, or some sort of fungi, or another type of bug. It's so thick that when I first saw them, I thought they were just grass webs, couldn't even see the poo underneath it, but upon further inspection, I see that the web is blanketed over old poo. So yeah, I did some research because it's interesting, but came out with nothing, so I was wondering if anyone here knew anything about it.
