Loks more like a fungus to me Beard!
Possibly newly emerged Bulgaria or more likely Diatrype or Hypoxylon spp.
Perhaps..............or not!  
Cheers

i did think of the possibilty of it being a fungus, but the slime made me think twice. i think that serendipity's sugestion may be correct you know, as there was some on the fence too. what a waste!
