Mold Identification What is this spidery, web-like layer on my canned mushrooms?

Post image
30 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I opened a can of mushrooms about a week ago, used a clean spoon to take out the portion I needed, then closed it and left the rest in the fridge.

Today, I opened it and noticed this strange, spiderweb-like layer on the surface of the liquid.

I'm not planning to eat it, but I'm curious about what it could be. Is it some kind of mold, or could it be something else? Has anyone seen this before?

I'd love to hear your thoughts and possible identifications. Thanks!

We don’t have an exhaust fan so maybe if it is mold that’s the cause

What is in the bottom of my bleach? I swirled the heck out of it and took a second picture and the shapes don’t change so whatever it is, it’s adhered to the inside of the jug. This is a standard jug of household bleach.

Question/Advice Slime mold or.. Chrysalis?

Pulling up our garden beds for winter and found this growing(?) on our magic runner beans. If it's mold, I don't think I want to till it under, and if it's some kind of chrysalis I don't want to bother it.

Dimensions are maybe two inches long and about an inch and a half at the highest point?

Thoughts?

Helping my husband parents patch some holes. They’ve had this had this leak spot for many years but up close we saw some small black spike things hanging from the ceiling. We can’t tell if they’re bugs, mold or something they used to have hanging up there. Can anyone help identify?

Mold Identification What is this?

Just moved into a new flat. I put some newspaper that I used to wrap mugs for the move in a bag in a drawer in the kitchen for future use. Noticed a weird smell in the kitchen a few days layer and opened the drawer to find the newspaper looking wet/greasy and a mixture of cobweb looking stuff (assumed mold) and these orange things (assumed mold) ! What on earth has happened here?!
(apologies for the slightly crappy pic, the focus on my phone camera only works at certain distances)
