Field Notes
Description:
Some kind of bacteria/fungi most likely growing from bat guano.
At it's tallest spot, was probably around 9cm. Each stem had a round yellow tip on the end.
The round yellow tip is called a sporangium which is the structure that contains the spores for the fungi. The production of sporangia continues while external circumstances remain favourable and while fresh supplies of food material are available.
Habitat:
In a cave.
Notes:
Getting up close to these things my breath made the stems wave around as if it was coming alive! Kind of creepy when you are lying in complete darkness in a cave ;-)
