What do you think this is? I've gotten responses from people saying that its mold, fungus, and a chemical indicator that some factories use when making cotton. Most people say that its mold, while the second being a type of fungus. Here are some pictures, and a video if you want to see it live.

Mold can be caused by both bacterial films and fungi.

We should respect all forms of consciousness. The body is just a vessel, a mere hull.
