What do you think this is? I've gotten responses from people saying that its mold, fungus, and a chemical indicator that some factories use when making cotton. Most people say that its mold, while the second being a type of fungus. Here are some pictures, and a video if you want to see it live.

Hope these pictures can help you identify this unknown material!

Mold can be caused by both bacterial films and fungi.

We should respect all forms of consciousness. The body is just a vessel, a mere hull.
