fungus

I was wrong when I said that jack-o-lantern fungus wasn't as big as last year. It swelled to twice the size- before collapsing into a lump of brown mush. Almost disappeared now.
My youngest found this curious cluster of tiny brown fluff sprouting out of a planking in our deck (bad sign).
It was like teensy feather dusters
When I brushed the tops with my finger, fine powder escaped into the air- must be spores I guess.
Looks like lifted on tiny wiry stems.
It probably means my decking is rotting and needs some parts replaced, ugh.
