Purple mycelium

Recommended Posts

Found a couple boletes to take home and try to id.  At first glance I thought it had purple mycelium.  What?  Then I noticed that the pore surface had a mat of purple worms.  Was no longer interested in identifying the bolete but am curious about the worms.  Didn't have my phone with me so I took it home in a dog poo bag (unused).  Lost most of the worms in the bag but here is a picture of what remained.

I too thought they may be centipedes or millipedes.  Picture shows them much closer than I actually inspected.  Kinda got the creeps.  They were a solid group on the pores originally with several dangling off the stipe  (the reason first thought that came to me was mycelium) and squirming
