A network of bright white strands of mycelia with fluffy tips on fallen leaf & bark litter.
Spotted on damp forest floor- mixed natives.
These are fungal hyphae aligned in a parallel fashion forming cords like rootlets. They transfer nutrients to fruiting bodies and over long distances or assist in breaking down wood to enable wood-rotting fungi to access new food sources.
