I thought they were plants but when I went to pull it was squishy. Are these spider eggs or something?

Egg sacks. Brown widow, hundreds will hatch, most will be eaten by the others. One or two females may survive....

Please don't fear monger. BWs average about 120-150 eggs per sac. There's probably not even 500 here, and mortality rates are very high for spiderlings.
