  • Question

    Not so much "plant" related but this seems like the best place to ask. Was wondering if anyone knows what these white strings are. I was hiking through a national park in Tasmania and these strings were scattered everywhere on the forest floor for miles. I didn't get many decent videos but it seemed to be originating from all the different types of mushrooms, and then spreading into all of the other organisms (moss, bark, trees etc.)

    Answer

    Dear jordan, good afternoon. I wish I could help. Unfortunately, you observed these structures very far from my region of expertise. You will need to find someone closer to that area who has expertise in the natural history there. Good luck.
