To me, it looks as though the garden fairies have opened a tiny tin of miniature baked beans. Sorry OP, no clue!!!

Are they squidgy like fungi

Can you post a close up? Possibly eyelash fungus. Do they have hairs around the edges?

Slime mould might be another option, but my money is on eyelash.

Ugh.

What sort of compost did you use OP, and are any other pots affected?
