I think this is hilarious. I guess it's a fungus next to the faucet? Has this ever happened to anyone else before? It's funny because they really do stand up and I don't know how...

It looks like it might be a regular plant... with a regular stalk, and two tiny seed leaves... did you spill some basil seeds or something while cooking?

No idea. I just moved into this apartment a week ago and my housemates don't know what it is either. We just discovered it today. All the spices are on a shelf above the sink. But I don't know about seeds.

But I'm still amazed that it's growing out of nothing, like no pot of dirt, etc. I could understand that something grows out of water, but how is it standing up like that?
 
That's great! I was cleaning out my bathroom once and found a small mushroom growing out behind the toilet, that was nasty, as well as the one growing in the emergency brake in the car...
 
Boo. Its gone now. Somebody cleaned it away while I was out this afternoon. Oh well, I have photos.

The apartment is clean. It's not like American spick and span. It's a bunch of young people and in Germany trash is separated. We don't have a bio trash can, but in my previous apartment we did and that was nasty. Stuff was growing in that can all the time...

Besides it wasn't a fungus, but rather a plant. A mushroom behind a toilet? now THAT is nasty.

i think thats typical to all student cribs :D
 
once when I was apartment hunting I viewed a basement suite that had mushrooms growing on the shower walls - the walls were wood planks not tiles.
The guy living in there did not notice the clusters of mushrooms on the walls - yuck

To the OP - This happens more often that one would think. I once had seeds sprout in my drains while away for a few days and found green things in my kitchen sink drain. I guess the seeds found enough nutrition in the gunk stuck to pipe walls.
