It's a good read. Not plant, animal or fungi. Amoeboid stuff. Doesn't last long. Starts almost invisible/clear travelling around eating bacteria. One soup full of nucleii. Then it stops moving and forms shapes to distribute spores. :)

Much more the habit of a slime mold Mac !! You have timed your shots perfectly. Plasmodial state in pic 3. Fruiting bodies in 1 and 2. Excellent find. It looks like a pale version of Fuligo septica.
