Thanks for your reply. I am quite familiar with scale in their many forms, as I have them appear from time to time in my collection. This is behaviorally and visually a fungus. I know the pictures aren’t great. If someone needs better pictures then I can probably find the tissue frozen in my compost bin and prepare another slide. Also I forgot to add that the series of 4 photos were taken at 14x, 40x, 100x, and 400x magnification, respectively.
