On Day 10, they had grown darker, and with them grew juvenile, white forms — some elongating and turning pale pink.

On Day 11, they had formed coral spore masses but a few sporangia remained.

On Day 17, they returned.
With them appeared to be an Ascocoryne sarcoides, but it could also have been some of the sporocarps fused at the tips.
The stems were long.
