Some kind of slime mould I would think. Maybe the delightfully titled 'dog vomit' slime mould
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

It's definitely the polenta bug.
In London. Keen but lazy.

Not sure if you are still having a laugh, don't mind if you are, but cannot find polenta bugs to do with gardening, seems they are in corn meal flour.
