This thing has been growing on this mushroom for months. Anybody know what it is and is it a specific type of mushroom that grows these green things?
Thanks,
Tom

Here's a far away shot so you can I.D. the type of mushroom.

looks like a rhodactis sp. (frilly mushroom)
it just looks like one of them cannot eject water very well. i have seen this happen before. the person popped it with a pin and it was okay after that.
might be worth a s hot
as far as what caused it to do that or not be able to eject water, im sorry, but i dont know

its usually a blockage caused by bacteria or large molecules stuck in the mushroom. like fishieness said u can just pop it and i will be totally fine just make sure its a new needle or to sterilize it.

That's a bummer. I thought it was a good thing.

Thanks for the info and I'll raid my wife's sewing case tonight for a new needle.
