This looks to be a relative of slime mold, though we do not have this particular type in my region.
It is likely not a pathogen, itself. These types of organisms feed on bacteria. It can indicate a bacterial infection in the soil, though.
Treating with a fungicide will help, otherwise, the organism itself will act as a bactericide over time.
