Xanthoria parietina die of drunkenness

Hi last night I noticed my current batch went moldy. And I'm reasonably sure it is actual mold and not xan hyphae, because it smelled like actual mold and some of the threads had little mold-shaped fruiting orb things coming out of them (I don't believe Xanthoria is capable of growing orbs like that).

Maybe I should study some weather forecasts more thoroughly to get an understanding of how they're able to live in places with frequent precipitation. It probably has something to do with evaporation but, then again, excessively frequent dehydration cycles compromise their photosynthetic effectiveness. Problematic!
