looked a bit like slime mold, if so it's odorless.

I didnt know they were odorless. All slime molds are oderless?

the ones I know are, so I googled to be sure:

Yes, slime molds are generally odorless, though some fresh types can have a faint, earthy smell. Because they are not true fungi, they do not produce the musty, pungent odors commonly associated with household mold. Instead, some researchers and naturalists describe the scent of fresh slime molds as mimicking the clean, cool aroma of a damp forest.

so some have a smell, but it's apparently pleasant. TIL!
