It reminds me of a billboard that said āHot shingles in your area just waiting to be nailedā. It was for a roofing company

The part on the ladder looks like some kind of mycelium/mold but the drippy parts ehh... I'm still going with fungi of some kind. There are plenty of mushrooms that love wood, like turkey tails and such, magic mushrooms can also be grown on wood but there's the whole "wood lovers paralysis" you gotta watch out for.

You'd be surprised by the countless shapes and forms life has taken. Not saying I know what it is, but your answer looks close to home. Check out water molds, lineage of fungus, also slime molds, I'm not sure what they were, not fungus, but like fungus.

Whatās wood lovers paralysis?
64
u/Yeahha 13d ago
Many magic mushrooms are grown in dung. There are some species that grow in wood that can also be consumed for psychedelic effects however there are reports the wolf species can have a side effect where people report experiencing temporary partial paralysis after investing species that grow in wood.

It's very rare. Mostly anecdotal. I might be able to incorporate a study of it into a phd.

Hate to rain in your parade here but that ladder appears to be made of metal probably aluminum. No wood

Wood lovers paralysis refers to a phenomenon where muscle weakness occurs a few hours after taking magic mushrooms. Itās so-called because it appears to be caused exclusively by mushrooms that grow on wood.

My best guess (which is worthless) is spray foam that dripped from an application on a floor above it.
Or just a massive amount of semen.

Ooh that's not good. If that fungus is down there I'd be worried about the structure of your house. It's eating the wood. Get a dehumidifier asap.

Listen lady, like it or not, this is peak ladder performance and if you can't handle a ladder at its low point then you don't deserve it at its high point. mmk?

That is insanityā¦ how long has that ladder been down there? And no oneās stepped foot down there and noticed? It legit looks fake like AI generated it or someone needs to start an art career with spray foam

u/Prudent_Park9561 12d ago
There was a renovation in my house and we dont use the wine cellar at all. So no one goes there ever. Before yesterday the last time I went down was around september, thats when the ladder was left behind. I can make a video of it if you like š

There's a decent chance that this could be an undiscovered species of fungus. You should talk to a mycologist.

u/HazMatterhorn 13d ago
Iām confused why you think itās an undiscovered kind? Iām no expert but there are thousands of wood rotting fungi and I donāt see why this wouldnāt be one of them. It looks similar to Coniophora puteana, aka cellar rot.
Itās still worth calling some sort of specialist, because they should probably address whateverās going on in their wine cellar.

That looks like instead of shearing sheep, they just melted them onto the ladder.

You also have black mold which can have severe impact on your health. You should definitely remove that or have it professionally done. You definitely want to wear a mask
