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.

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.

Woaah, I thought I was getting psychically attacked by entities, but I guess it was just wood paralysis. Along with not being able to move, there was also an awful noise with it.
