    So as I went to turn off my moonlights tonight i noticed this stuff all inside of my red mushroom. I thought I could blow it out or suck it out with a turkey baster and it seems to be attached to the mushroom. Any ideas what this stuff is? My mushroom has been healthy and growing like crazy, the last piture shows it yesterday.

    That's its guts. Sometimes they extrude them, then pull them back in.

    Mesenterial filaments, nothing to worry about if the rest of the mushroom looks healthy.
