    I find these sometimes in wood. What do they grow up to be? The kinda look like light pink kidney beans with a hair like tail sticking out of one end. The "body" ranges in size from 1/4" to 5/8" approximately. The larger ones have opaque body's with what looks like pieces of rice on them.

    Thanks for the welcome. Is there an intro section? I could not find one.
