Please help me identify these tiny sprouts on outdoor net

Bootjack, CA

Greetings,

I recently discovered a small group of about 8 tiny (3/8 inch) sprouts in one of the openings of our outdoor net covering our wine grapes. They showed up around mid-August. We are located in Mariposa, California in the foothills of Yosemite. The heads of the sprouts are white and the stems are clear.

Has anyone seen these before? Are they an airborne invasive?

I mend the netting almost daily as birds like Bullock Orioles find their way inside and need to be rescued.

The sprouts shown here are the only group of sprouts that I have found clinging to the nets. The net openings are about 1 inch by 1 1/2 inches. Thank you for any information that you can share with me.

Hi Neighbor,

You have a very tiny fungus growing on your netting.

Except when they are Lacewing eggs!

These were ID'd on another posting - I'm just an echo here...

Yes, and I noted on the other posting that I was in error and that they are in fact, lacewing eggs.
