ParticipantHello,
Can somebody tell me precisely what kind of the mould or fungus is this?
I attached several high resolution photo’s to this topic.Here are YouTube video links of this creature:

2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jocP6cy8bkYIt grows behind the door of my basement which we digged in the hill a year ago.

ParticipantI’m sorry, you can’t identify fungi by how it looks like. It’s simply not possible. A very good mycologist might be able to give you maybe a handful of possibilities, but most certainly not make a positive ID. Why do you need to know?

ParticipantI agree with MrMistery. It’s almost impossible for identifying fungi (mold) just based from those photos. Usually mold identification uses Colony and Cellular Morphologies.
Maybe you can make pick a little spore from the mycelia and culture them in a cultue medium (Malt Extract Agar, or Czapeck Dox Agar) for at least 5 days until they grown well. After that, you can identify them by their Colony and Cellular Morphologies.
