Looks like they might be trying to grow their mycelia network, for those that don’t know a mycelia network is like the roots of a tree but for mushrooms. Mycelia networks span almost entire forests, they are key to distributing nutrients and recent studies are showing that some trees communicate to their offspring through it.
I don’t know for certain, not an expert on the subject. This is my best guess.
What would a tree say to their children?
It wouldn’t say anything, just bark.
“Dad just leaf me alone!”
Don’t leaf me
Checking up that they’ve got enough food, and if not the parent will share some of theirs through the network.
It’s incredible really…
That’s incredible
You’re literally correct and I’m furious
You’re nuts.
You stem from me.
Humidity is high enough the mycelium tried to branch. Reduce the humidity.
Lol, it looks like it’s outside.
If simply “reducing the humidity” of outside was a possibility, living in the south woild be pretty good.
Well if it’s not an indoor grow, leave it alone. Your snark isn’t helpful, but my point is still accurate.
It’s called a joke I believe.

Ohhhh ok, you’re just an asshole who can’t understand a joke, and once you figure it out you then over correct and act like a middle schooler. Gotcha! Have a good one buddy!
wtf?
Something is wrong with the comments. Guy was being very rude and said something along the lines of showing my mother his penis.
this is what i thought
It was rather foggy the few mornings preceding this photo. So I think that’s what caused them to sprout.

iNaturalist is pretty sure they’re Coriolopsis gallica
