Please help identify a weird material coming from my wall

Hopefully someone can help as I've scoured the internet without success.

In my bathroom there is a badly boxed in area around the main toilet pipe. It has always looked a mess but landlord has been of little help.

After a couple of days away I have noticed an odd material coming out of the wall around the main pipe - it's like furry eggs if that makes any sense. Can't work out if it's pest related or something else and getting a bit stressed about something nasty hatching.

If anyone can identify I will be astonishingly grateful. It looks truly manky.

Any signs of mice ? That could be them nesting in the boxed in area that is obviously full of insulation. It looks like insulation material to me anyway.

This! That’s looks suspiciously like loft insulation. Some sort of pest - mice/rats/squirrels have got in and are nesting.
add: or pipe wrap insulation
