It doesn’t immediately look like termites, but you’ve cropped/zoomed in so tight that there may be missing information that would help.

There’s no obvious damage around (just some old mold and water damage (washer room))

That’s a terrible picture will nothing to indicate scale but assuming those brown capsule looking things are about 1/4 inch long that looks like fly pupae. Is the location near trash can or compactor? Had you previously noticed maggots?

Sorry, thought it was clearer than it was

They are about 1/4 inch, brown, and hollow. Little crunchy.

A little bitter, with pronounced notes of drywall and batt insulation, and a subtle hint of mouse droppings

Yep, and @nieminen@lemmy.world if they’re hollow, they’re living out their adult lives elsewhere (likely in the building). These are just signs that they used it as a pupation site.
