White balls in plant soil

Question

Just wondering if anyone knows what these white balls are in the soil of my Calathea Gray Star? It is a new plant and seems healthy hoping this is part of the soil mix and not insect related 😳

Hard to see what size they are,  but there are often small balls in soil from nurseyplants with a slow release fertiliser.  Could be it..

They kinda look like rocks....

It could be a puff ball slime mold.
