This appears to be a stalled form of a plasmodium of a myxomycete. When environmental conditions suddenly change, these critters also change their habits, here it appears to have stopped moving and encased itself into a sclerotium which will reform as conditions, weather, temperature or pH, return to favourable conditions.
