Thanks, Tiago



Sorry, it's fascinating but I don't have a clue. A warning to everyone else, don't try to open these unless you have a broad-band connection. Each pic took quite a long-time on my hi-speed connection. Perhaps you could reduce the file size and repost repost. I've never seen anything like it and would also be very interested to know what it is. LJ_in_BC

Terrible..why? They have good quality.

I will try to reduce the size so everyone can see them. Sorry for that

Well, the pictures look like a wad of some sort of polyfill fiber with morning dew on them. I find things like that in my garden all the time, usually right after the Puppies O' Thunder unstuff a stuffed animal to kill the squeaky.

Use jpegs. Bitmaps just take too much time to transfer. If you have software to transfer images from a camera, you almost certainly have software to convert to jpeg (.jpg).

I could see the images OK. In foto1.bmp it appeared to me as a fungus that I see in damp & humid conditions often associated with animal manure. Although I have never seen fungus of the size depicted in foto2.bmp. In foto3.bmp it seems to be a close up but I can't offer an opinion as to what it is.

They need to be converted to JPEG!!! BMP's are usually pretty huge.

I could not even access them. No translators for the file types.

What are it's characteristics? Does it dissolve with water or sunlight?

It really does look like stuffing or some sort of fabric fluff to me, but it might be some sort of fungus.

Try posting this on alt.nature.mushrooms

Cheers!

Does it look like this?

Looks like cotton or something similar. It doesnt dissolve with water but i think it dissolves with sunlight.

I will try to post on that group..tks.

Susan it doesnt look anything like that.

Not even close (though the same thought crossed my mind at first). I think Tiago lives next to a Teddy Bear factory or something.

I can't identify them, but I know that one of the houses I walk past on my way to work has them on their lawn some mornings.
