Hey Sudoroom: I made pickles this week and some fancy-looking mold grew on them. Not good for eating, but a treat for watching, so I thought you'd all like to see! It reminds me a bit of an electron micrograph of a growing axon (see here: http://www.bio.miami.edu/ktosney/images/ResHomSEMgc.jpg) Bonus points to any of you who can identify the type of fungus (I haven't been able to yet). -Jonathan
