The sticky-structure is a split off of the rubric sticky-cube. The sticky structure is a gelatinous mass of tiny balls stuck together to gigantic colonies. A colony is usually started with a single ball, that quickly grows into a cube. At one point or the other this cube starts to develop buds on unusual spots, growing into the air instead of the floor. The structures resemble futuristic architecture and can reach upto ten meters. Also interesting is the fact that the lowest cubes, the root structures, become harder and crystalous after periods of time. They also spread underneath the earth so that their structure is enhanced, here the lower balls absorb proteins and metals from the soil. At night the sticky-structure is eluding a purple light. This light comes from flouroescent proteins absorbed from the soil.
