Strange Fungus in my Room?

Question

Hi All.

Some years back I was living in an Apt. We had a leak in the bathroom - which was beside my bedroom - and it leaked onto/under my carpet at the skirting board. A small area remained damp for some weeks.

After a while I noticed there was a dark yellow (ochre) coloured fungus growing out of the carpet. It was cold and damp to the touch. I cut it out and removed it, only for it to grow back gradually later.

Eventually - probably when the leak was repaired - it disappeared. But I am curious as to what type of fungus it actually was.

Any suggestions??

Regards

Conor

We'd need to see the colony ourselves. So many of them can have a dark yellow colour.
