WTF?!?! I grew this in my shed...

I found this last night. It seems to have grown out of my alder chip bag. The roll of black material is roofing felt. I was astonished when I found it. Take a look for yourself.
Objects surface
Objects underside where it was in contact w/ plastic bag.
A cross section of the object.

I just noticed it last night. I could have been growing for weeks. The wierd thing is, I searched for the mycelial network in the bag of woodchips and found nothing. The chips were a bit moist, but no real sign of fungi.

Can I have a spore print?
That is really wierd; It looks a lot like some misshapen polypore, but that rainbow coloring surrounding it. . .might be a combination of things?
Congratulations. I think

Nice photos.
It looks like Dry Rot (Serpula lacrimans) which is actually pretty common. It causes a lot of damage to houses and other structures made of wood. It tends to grow in out of the way places, which is why it often isn't noticed.
-------------------- Happy mushrooming!

If you take notice it is very dry to the touch and crumbles like styrene. I really don't know the genus but it is not good for you to take into your lungs especially if you have an allergy for it. I seen this same shit growing on block walls and many other materials. It is very agressive and will take over other living mushrooms quickly. It does remind me of a trich or a pennicillium. Be careful handling it. Mask and gloves would be the safe way. DO NOT take it inside your house with your other mushies. I had a patch of oysters that were wiped out from this fungus. ITS A KILLER!

I have seen that fungus many times before. Hell I got a large batch of it growing on top of last week's "left-overs" in my kitchen right now.

I am going to irradicate this SOB right now. I will unroll the felt and cut a srip of it off and ditch it in the garbage can.

This might sound crazy & gross... but I bet that chewing tobbacco juice would kill it as well .
I once seen a red neck hick hold a wild lizard's on the ground with his shoe as he spit tobbacco juice on it... That poor lizard was dead within 5 minutes!!

This site recommends using Boric Acid to kill wood-rotting fungi.

Other sites recomend boric acid to kill roaches.. I have never seen it kill a roach yet. In fact, they seem to get high on the stuff.

It doesn't kill them quickly, but it does kill them. Roaches groom a lot and lick the boric acid off and eat it after it sticks to them.

No, I just ate it. I figured the fucker wouldn't be spreading any spores if it was in my stomach.
j/k...the mass did not seem to have a readily available way to take a print. I think the spores were contained in the middle of the body, as the body is destroyed by touch, the spores are disbursed.
