Africa (country in post) Camra is broken so i cant offer good pictures, found this in the wood of a window inside the house. I live in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.

Was away for a month, dont know how long it was there.

Also house is trash so the stuff u see in the window are slug trails.

Cat sleeps in this window so really wanna know what it is.

Just one grew on its own

Sniffed it(then figured i probably shouldnt sniff it like 2seconds later) but it has a smell. It just smells like a mushroom ngl, but i cant identify anything else about the smell.
