Image 1 appears to be a species of Nostoc, a cyanobacterim, often appear after recent rainfall.
Images 2 & 3 have the appearance of knobbly development of a fungal species.
These do not appear to be a myxomycete at this stage but I hope you will continue searching, many thanks.

I think no blue ring around thorax, so not E. encalpti. Dark mark by forewing apex = E. literatus.

Thanks Di,
I think that view also looks like A. boisduvalii, but it's not very visible.
Ideally, you'd want to see the area in this image for A. boisduvalii:

Here is A. porosus for comparison, which has lines of white setae along the outer margins and through the midline of the pygidium, and a more polished surface structure:

A. pallidicollis can also look similar to A. porosus, but has the pygidium covered across the whole surface in white setae.
