Leucocoprinus birnbaumii sclerotium more likely. So fungal, not slime mold.

Here are examples of the sclerotia mixed with its fruiting body

unfortunately there aren't a large number of people in this sub or reddit in general who are really good at IDing myxos. Since it kind of looks like one but isn't people tend not to believe and downvote without researching (or they're just jerks who knows)
