It's a walking piece of string!

Are those white stringy things legs, or were they not used for walking?

 

[xUKHCx]

The legs were underneath and not use at all.

My brother, a biologist, says it's a "Coral fungus; PHYLUM: Basidiomycota; CLASS: Agaricomycetes"

I only have A-level biology but since when can fungus walk. (it also had small black eyes)

.....but since when can fungus walk.

If iSaint's brother is correct, then apparently, they have been able to walk since that class first appeared. 😉


The black eyes throw me off, though. Since when did fungi have eyes?! 😱

Oh wait, I think I said the answer before...
