It's a walking piece of string!

I will name it George and love him and hug him.

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

 

[xUKHCx]

The legs were underneath and not use at all.

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...
