This mould is very common but has only been seen growing from an unidentified brown mushroom which is found under Grey Box. The black spore balls terminate yellow filaments which in this specimen are up to 15mm long. The balls are sticky, perhaps so animals will carry them away. Smaller insects get trapped.
