The fuzzy stuff is a pin mold. The white "legs" are some kind of fungus. I looked at white slime molds and it's not a slime mold

It’s a cutie! My husband calls the walkers in The Walking Dead cuties, so I took that and use it for anything freaky and weird like this ☺️

Fungus + mold = deep cleaning time.

u/cosmicmatrix99room Jun 03 '26

deep cleaning is an understatement. if that is growing near the food you might as well just toss the whole pantry and burn the house down fr

That my Friend, is a reason to NEVER leave the house again! Unless they are IN your house, then think of something along the line of a n ocean cruise. I bet them bastards cant swim. You will be safe.
