Worm casts 
If you aerate the lawn by sticking the fork all over most if not all should go away.
It's because the ground is so wet.

Hi DIY MAN DIM
Nothing to worry about. They're worm casts. They are a mixture of sand and soil pushed to the surface by the worm from the worm burrow. It's a sign that you have good fertile soil if you have worms.
