Someone has to know what this thing is!

Probably a botanist would know what that is. Unfortunately we don't have any of those on the forum. Do we?

It kind of resembles a variation (extreme variation) of an Earth Star fungus

i think that's a coniferous tree ....i have seen conifers and the young shoots look like the tree in that pic.
does that thing move :?:

It is a coniferous tree. We were asking what is that thing growing in it :wink:

No, it doesn't move, and its long dead (The shrivled black carcass is still dangling there... maybe I should eBay it =P)

Could it be something that's not growing on that tree ....may be the wind has thrown that thing over it :?:

[just wondering]

It looks to big to be carried by the wind. But anything is possible.

by **EmmVeePee** » Fri Jun 17, 2005 9:59 pm

Its definetly growing off of the tree, whether it is a parasite, etc., I don't know. But I watched its entire development until death while it was on the same spot in the tree.

As I suspected, it is too big to be carried by the wind. It is probably a parazite fungus. The wind brought spores to your tree and from there you know what happened. or it could be an alien
