I accidentally left a handline rigged overnight in the entrance of Morris Cave (left through another entrance and forgot it) and when I came to get it the next day I noticed a few dots of white and a larger patch of white. I couldn't tell what it was exactly but it could have been a fungus. My only other guess would be piece of spider silk, I did see several eggsacs and webs right inside the entrance, but I've never seen spiders just leave dots and patches of silk on stuff.
Should I report this to anyone? There is a place to report and comment on trips to albany area caves but nothing for vt area caves. It seems like if it actually was a fungus this is proof that it can grow on our gear. Should I take pictures of the webbing before I submit it to the decontamination of its life? I bought a new length which I will use in other caves for the time being before I decide what to do with it.
