Is this yucky thing scat or slime mold?
I took a picture of this in mixed wooded hills in Oregon in winter. I thought it might be animal scat and was wondering what type of animal, but I asked someone who thought it might be slime mold, at which point I remembered I didn't notice a smell from it.
Can anyone identify this from the picture?

After looking through all of the pages of Google Image search slime molds, I was unable to find anything that resembled the brown stuff in the above images. There is a list of the Slime Molds of the Cascade Mountains of Oregon and Washington and nothing in that looks similar either.
I would say that it is runny scat from an unknown animal.
