Maybe slime mould?

Not Fuligo - which has dark purplish-black spores.

Some Fuligo species do present in form exactly like the above images with the lighter coloured spore mass, but unless one does the microscopy its impossible to ID to species. I found one down at Bournda a few years ago and was certain it was 'different' but after many hours of work it turned out to be Fuligo septica var. flava. So, if possible, can you collect a specimen? It would be a very interesting exercise to work on.
