Managed to identify it with help of members from https://garden.org/thread/view/107524/Please-help-it-to-ID-this-incredible-plant/
This strange rhizome was found near the Gradašnica pecina cave in Serbia not far from the Danube. It doesn't have any color no chlorophyll whatsoever. This is why of made me think of a parasitic plant although I didn't have any success identifying it. Parasitic plants are are highly modified or derived as much as I know. Now it is clear it is somehow related to the oxalis (triangularis etc) genus. It was amongst wood bits and stones in a small ravine, middle of the forest, with trees growing on both sides above and ferns next by on the steep sides. Due to heavy rains nearby probably became uprooted.

Cellar Spiders (Family Pholcidae)Observer

I've never seen something like this. Seems like after a very rainy summer some sort of very aggressive mold started attacking all the living spiders in the house basement. They were all covered in a fuzzy white sporulating mass. It was not one but nearly all the species found in this one basement, small or big they're all covered by the mold. First I tought it's growing out of former discarded exoskeletons, although I soon realized it's been probably killing and growing from the inside of their bodies, completly covering them in this white furry cover. It was a phenomenal view, looked eerily like gathering of spider ghosts.
