It almost looks like efflorescence. In other words, moisture seeping through the fabric to the outside. When the water evaporates, it leaves behind a calcium residue. Do a test by scraping some of it into a pile. Place it on the ground somewhere and pour some vinegar or muriatic acid on it (slowly/carefully). If it fizzles it's calcium.
