Hello All

 

One of our pots of basil had yellow threads growing all over the plant.  At
first I was more curious than concerned until one of my coworkers found out
what they were on the internet.   

 

If you have yard plants, you may want to check out the web sites below.

I think I was wrong about that stuff being a fungus. It could be a type of
parasitic plant called a dodder. 

See below for a couple of informational links.
