A phycomid is an algae-like mass that resembles a blob of decomposing, milky-colored matter with capped fungi growing out of it. A phycomid extends a tube from which is exudes a highly alkaline substance that it discharges through the tube in small globules, which can also cause victims to serve as hosts for new phycomid growth.
