ABSTRACT
The model that best accounts for these observations is a mycotic or fungal microorganism. The microscopic appearance at 400X magnification shows a possible filamentous growth originating on several different hair follicle shafts. There is also a filamentous matrix located in the white materials that exited the feet. Therefore this micro organism is probably not an animal. The microorganism lives within the dermis and probably does not rely on photosynthesis and therefore is probably not a plant.
