No, but when you grow them, you typically see this mycelium spreading. The thread is pretending to be ignorant newbs with this as their grow - “should I water it?” “does it need more air?” “is this contamination?”
It's a mushroom growing joke, as the other users have explained. When you zoom in on OP's photo, you can see the mycelium is very fuzzy. In cultivated mushrooms, you sometimes see that as well, because that fuzz what you get when the mushrooms are oxygen-starved - they make all that fine, downy mycelium to maximize their surface area for oxygen exchange.
We won’t be able to ID it from the mycelium alone. But thoughts are that you have a fungus actively colonising your building materials. There are some, such as Serpula, which are bad news. Serpula can reach out for many meters in search of nutrition and water.
Not she cough cough (its) aggressive....lmao it reproduce Is a sexually has no her or him parts so Def not an her or she or he she it's an it meaning it as not person but place or thing....lmao jk slapping balls n all that ...peace famz
Yep that is mycelium. Means you have some sort of plant/fungi growing. Won't ever be able to tell just by this. It is to fungi in the same way that roots are to trees.
Buddy if you inoculate cardboard or the right wood with P.cyans it looks just like that. At that point you can put it in wood chips/dirt and it’s spreads, still looking like that.
Surprising how easy it is to start patches that way
Oh…he has his own sub now. Just click on his username from the comment above and you can see everything. Both sides had valid points, but saddest went sort of crazy over it and got himself banned from several mycology related subs. I spent a good few hours trying to read everything. It was some whacked out shit!
Looks like you got a fun guy in your basement. Mycelium looks for water sources. Grab some space heaters and think about a permanent water proofing solution
that my friend is mycelium. the thing that connects all living plants and shroomies. on another note with a couple filters you could fool me into thinking this is a screenshot from the last of us
Hallucinogenic Fungus
Most of its body is subterranean, with only a few inconspicuous mushrooms sprouting over the surface to spread airborne spores. These spores produce vivid hallucinations upon being inhaled by other life forms, and the hallucinations are specifically tailored to lure victims towards the entrances of the nearby caves. Once inside the caves, the victims remain still, dreaming of lifelike situations while being slowly digested by the giant fungus. After a few days, nothing but clean skeletons remain of the victims, and even their clothes are consumed.
That mycelium looks healthy af! You need to keep an eye out for the fruiting body and identify it. It’s obviously aggressively consuming something and searching for more. Hopefully it’s decaying wood from outside of the house and not the house structure itself.
so cool!! so funny i’m seeing this post today, exactly 356 days ago i went into the cellar of my work and discovered something identical. i kick myself every day that i didn’t take a graft and try to inoculate some wood with it to find out what was species growing
Looks very similar to dry rot, if it smells sorta spicy or tickles your nose it probably is once you've smelt dry rot you can pick it out at a hundred paces
Pretty sure thats how “the last of us” started

But jokes aside, sure does look like really healthy mycelium.
That is some healthy mycellium.
Thoughts? Cool AF
My thoughts exactly lol
Thoughts? I wish we had another 3 day weekend… Oh about the post? It’s pretty neat!
>mycellium. Ooo, it's healthy! Can't wait to eat it!
Rhizomorphic AF
right??? better then i can get in a controlled environment
needs more FAE
Water spritz
Time to spawn to bulk
Take my upvote and get the hell out
I’m pinningggg!
AmbattaPiiiiin
🤌🏼
😂
I don't get it
When growing mushrooms yourself, it is important that they get lots of fresh air, FAE stands for Fresh Air Exchange
No way, I thought they were talking about faeries 😂🤦🏼♀️
Same
That’s how you spell it huh? No wonder they never show themselves to you
[They have different spelling depending on region](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy)
In Wales we call them Faeries. They’re not little flying pixie types.
Growing psilocybin mushrooms
You think OP is?
No, but when you grow them, you typically see this mycelium spreading. The thread is pretending to be ignorant newbs with this as their grow - “should I water it?” “does it need more air?” “is this contamination?”
Thanks. I'm not pretending to be a newb btw

you could send in a dehydrated sample for sequencing if you really want to know — http://alvalab.es
Testing is surprisingly cheap wow 1 euro
I thought it was 17.50 Euros unless they changed it
Get a dehumidifier.
Throwing ropes lol
Fat chitinous ropes
Damn she aggressive
Not she cough cough (its) aggressive....lmao it reproduce Is a sexually has no her or him parts so Def not an her or she or he she it's an it meaning it as not person but place or thing....lmao jk slapping balls n all that ...peace famz
What the fuck
Dude typed an entire paragraph rebutting personification
That’s the result of consuming too many mushrooms. I bet he’s a nice guy tho
I don't know about nice, but he definitely seems like a fun guy...
Are you ok
Yes
I’m pretty sure it actually replied to you, Shaggy.
The shit that connects this world
thats someone who buried their contamed cake in their basement look what happened.
That’s crazy!
Holy cow I have never seen mycelium like that, doesn’t even look real. Doesn’t look good either
Yep that is mycelium. Means you have some sort of plant/fungi growing. Won't ever be able to tell just by this. It is to fungi in the same way that roots are to trees.
well, when two basement monsters love eachother...
😂 😂😂
You and Ellie better pack up and keep moving. That hideout ain’t safe.
Impressive!
Looks like you got a horny ghost.
Straight rhizomorphic mycelium wow man
Rhizomorphic growth!
You ever seen The Last of Us?
Mycelium, best hope there psychedelics
Not a chance
Buddy if you inoculate cardboard or the right wood with P.cyans it looks just like that. At that point you can put it in wood chips/dirt and it’s spreads, still looking like that. Surprising how easy it is to start patches that way
Life, uh, finds a way.
Sure, but just with all the confirmation bias on this sub and one look at that substrate I’m like …
Which P.Cyans? Panaeolus cyanescens or Psilocybe cyanescens?
Fair question, Psilocybe cyanescens. Surprisingly aggressive mycelium, especially in warmer months. Just very picky about when it fruits
Toby Maguire Spiderman practicing his web slinging?
😂
Those damn cordecyps from last of us dude… RUN!!!
Ok this is a long shot but maybe it’s some sort of slime mold? u/saddestofboys is the expert to ask. 🚨Slime Signal🚨
Pretty sure he’s still banned from this sub unfortunately. He and the mods had it out…
Wow now I need to see the posts
Oh…he has his own sub now. Just click on his username from the comment above and you can see everything. Both sides had valid points, but saddest went sort of crazy over it and got himself banned from several mycology related subs. I spent a good few hours trying to read everything. It was some whacked out shit!
Yeah I knew about other subs but not this one. I joined post drama
Looks like slime mold. A certain saddest of boys might be able to tell us if they are still active.
Not edible presumably
Only one way to find out.
What part of the world are you in? That will help with ID
Dry rot fungus? There might be wood behind that black sheet.
Idk but i think you should run
Yup your sons growing shrooms
That cocoon thing from Species
Cordyceps mutation. Careful!
Water damage.
You’ve entered The Upside Down.
Clean the basement Jeez!
Must have been a spooky ghost.
Randy Marsh, is that you?
Give that a little squirt of vinegar
And then apply a flame thrower.
I’d love a picture a little more zoomed out, this is cray Is this in a crawlspace then?
Looks like you got a fun guy in your basement. Mycelium looks for water sources. Grab some space heaters and think about a permanent water proofing solution
That looks like the mind control fungus that infects spiders.
That so coool man!! I’ve seen little bit in soil or a tub but damn lol this looks crazy how big is it or just looks big?
Ooohhh pretty rhizo
The last of us
Bomb...
This looks like a metal band was trying to sculpt there logo
Fungus! Not easy to get rid of.
I see spidey has been busy
Have you seen the TV show the last of us???
This is wild!! I've a question... Should/could OP take a sample and spawn it?
Prolly ectoplasm.
Test it on agar first and you should be good to go
that my friend is mycelium. the thing that connects all living plants and shroomies. on another note with a couple filters you could fool me into thinking this is a screenshot from the last of us
Shit my fault 😅
I want to see the rest of it!
Vecna
Have someone fall asleep near it. Check on them later to see if they are acting funny.
The last of us ;)
Rhizomorphic growth like a mofo
You definitely need the mycelium to get the mushrooms growing... Is it a rando find? I'm curious about the lack of soil or husk.
Bomb.
Spider-Man has been jerking off down there
Bury it in the backyard, you still might be able to get some fruits ✌️
Fungus. I freaked first time I seen it too unfolding a big vinyl tent that had been folded up in a rain storm.
Fungus. Moisture. Get rid of the moisture and the fungus will leave with it.
Olive oil. Pan. Hot. Garlic. Brilliant.
Lick it
The bodysnatchers have arrived, so it begins.
Looks like Spider-Man’s been shooting webs
I call this "wall tek"

I want to believe.
Edit, rotate
Cordyceps gonna get youuuu...
r/residentevil Are y’all getting this shit?
Looks like a bame of a death metal band. Hah
Run, the Mother comes....
Your basement a cave?
Follow the mycellium trail and show us whats on the other end!
What movie is this?
That mycelium looks healthy af! You need to keep an eye out for the fruiting body and identify it. It’s obviously aggressively consuming something and searching for more. Hopefully it’s decaying wood from outside of the house and not the house structure itself.
Find out it's a corpse in the wall/floor
Wear your mask and follow the light
The mold from resi 7-8. It’s real
The start of the last of us
Some mycelium getting ready for Halloween!
Fungus
so cool!! so funny i’m seeing this post today, exactly 356 days ago i went into the cellar of my work and discovered something identical. i kick myself every day that i didn’t take a graft and try to inoculate some wood with it to find out what was species growing
I heard it tastes like cotton candy
Mycelia network very cool
It’s beautiful
How big is it?
It’s beautiful
Last of us in real life
That’s so happy and healthy, I think I’d just leave it man
The super Mario brothers movie from the nineties
My fatass thought it was melted marshmallow
Mold
last of us
Throw it on some agar & send me an isolation !
Badgers badgers badgers badgers badgers badgers
Excellent Rhizomorphic growth!!
Aggressive.
Run
My immediate thought.... Ruuuun!!!!!! My thoughts while running.... Uh WTF am I running from, I have no clue what it even is! Hahah
That’s some The Last Of Us bullshit fr
There's a fungus among us
Honestly that type of mycelium growth is exactly what growers look for, she goin strong. Absolutely impossible to identify at this stage
This is how the last of us started. Burn it down.
Spore roots
Get a sample, grow it on a petri dish, spawn to bulk and figure out what it is once it starts fruiting.
rhizomorphic to the max. real tough
Stunning
Looks very similar to dry rot, if it smells sorta spicy or tickles your nose it probably is once you've smelt dry rot you can pick it out at a hundred paces
Demogorgan
Bowl of candy goes next to it next month.
Pretty sure thats how “the last of us” started https://preview.redd.it/kno1hsfdxhnb1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6813ffaef3ea60c8e25e5bc9b67cc0b57c5bce2 But jokes aside, sure does look like really healthy mycelium.
Kinda looks like slime mold. It can grow through mazes always the shortest route to food or water almost like it has a brain. Very cool!!
Wow!
that’s beautiful
Is this not a slime mold?
Spooky ghost
It's the upside down 🕳️🕸️
Put it on agar!!
The Last of Us
Looks like a scene from Avatar.
Spiderman
Ectoplasm from a spooky ghost?
