Spalting is a pattern of dark black webs that appears in wood. It's quite sought after in woodworking for its unique appearance, but is actually caused by competition between the different fungi inhabiting the log.
The black lines are what's known as zone lines. Fungi make walls when they feel another fungi nearing in on their territory to protect their resources, resulting in black lines.

Enoki mushrooms actually only look like how most people think of them when grown in total darkness. They look quite normal otherwise!
Wild enoki vs. enoki cultivated in darkness ^

I feel very mushroom biased some of these funguary posts I have spent hours compiling research and formatting it nicely, I've even used paper sources and cited studies on a some of them, then for some like the Crepidotus I can't find anything interesting, spend five minutes on it, and give up.
I'm sorry T-T
I promise I'm trying my best, some of these fungi are just basic
Not oyster mushroom though, love that one <3

Interesting. This could be a couple people, I assume you are one of my moots but one can never be too sure. Needs further research.
Lichens are extremely durable. In 2005 NASA sent lichen to space to test how it stood up in the freezing cold vacuum. It was left outside in space for a period of time, and within 24 hours of rehydration had resumed all normal photosynthetic activity

Puffball mushrooms develop their spores inside their hollow fruiting bodies. Once mature a hole opens in the top to release spores when compressed, usually by animal activity, human intervention, or rain.
If you want to see a video of the spore release, which I highly recommend, you can find a video here!
