We have a weird orange spherical fungus growing in our garden, any idea what it is and if we need to do anything special to get rid of it?

They just look like micro toadstools/mushrooms to me. Pull one or two up to see if they have stalks, and whether they have gills beneath the cap.– BambooCommented Dec 29, 2012 at 13:38

This appears to be a slime mold (not a fungus) in the genus Lycogala; most likely either L. epidendron or L.terrestre. It is harmless to your garden, feeding on microorganisms and other detritus.
