The Secret Beneath the Wardrobe: I Found Something in My Girlfriend’s Room That Almost Cost Me Everything

• Slime mold (myxomycete) – a common one is “dog vomit slime mold,” which can look pinkish, beige, or grey and forms on damp organic debris like wood chips or soil.
• Fungal growth on decaying material – especially if it was sitting in a damp environment.
• Decomposing plant/organic matter stuck together with dirt, fibers, and moisture (the hairlike bits and soil strongly suggest contamination from its surroundings).

It’s basically something that grew or formed in a wet, organic environment rather than something from a human or animal body.

If you found this indoors, it’s worth carefully disposing of it (gloves/bag) and checking nearby areas for moisture or mold growth.
