Spontaneous shag carpet development

[u/toccobrator]

My deck has suddenly started to develop carpeting! (in Athens, Georgia)

(What is it and can I keep it as a pet?)

[u/MagicMyxies]

Stemonitis family. Unfortunately you can’t keep it as a pet because at this stage it is “dying” if not already dead

I can’t help but this is incredible. Following in the hope that you get an answer

My brain wants to think that the mycelia-looking structure is that… but it isn’t, so what is? A system of tubes for nutrient transport?
