Every now and then after a big rain these crop up in my basement. No obvious cracks or anything where they pop out of the unfinished concrete floor. I try to dispose of them without too much opportunity to shake of spores, and then douse the floor with bleach, but I also admire their ability to grow with no apparent nutrients.

Yeah, the basement has a dehumidifier, and almost all of the floor is very dry, it's just this corner. Also there's a ridge in the concrete and a clear border of damp versus dry. Usually it's not nearly like this though, we just got about 4 inches of rain.
