This one is the match:

This photo below at 450x shows a beginning stage of how the 'seeds/specks/beads' are connector-like in the middle of the fibers.

In a different place in the same petri dish where the growth is a little further along - (at 100x) - Notice how the 'specks/seeds' are now on the side of the fibers as if they are almost ready to fall off? I speculate that they do 'fall off' or leave the fiber to continue this process over and over. ( And, how the red fibers tend to produce red 'specks/seeds', the blue fibers produce blue seeds, yellow - yellow, etc.)

(When I remove the fiber/seed debris from my outside ear, I have often felt as if my ear contains 'beads on a string'... )
