Hello, we found these really fine, hair-like strands in the roof area of our barn. What could it possibly be? I found some conversation threads from this forum from 10 years ago which is the closest thing on the topic that I could find on the Internet — that that’s how I discovered this forum! Identification: - 4 inch long hair like fungus Is it the same thing? They don’t exactly look the same, but they are hair-like. Thank you for any help or suggestions!
Thanks Eric - I'm similarly wondering about something called "horsehair plaster" that came up in a search. Also, whether a nest-making critter might have transported/collected it, regardless of its nature, into the rafters for building in preparation for spring perhaps. Unless it shows signs of fungal structure in a close-up shot, it seems too long/large for any of the zygomycetes I've encountered. ADD: Also found some online photos under "hemp fibre industrial insulation material" that look similar.
