Your mention of the yellow tail fungus got me looking at Cordyceps.
I personally regard the orange-yellow skin and stool artifacts as a more insidious form of Morgellons than the fibers. Those pesky, motile fibers do annoy, but a new level of skin burn happens when this stuff exits:

Compare the images above to a Google image search for Cordyceps Militaris: https://www.google.com/search?q=Cordyceps+militaris&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=ILUrVcqUCoHloASgx4HYBQ&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=693&bih=686#imgrc=_
The color match is perfect, the close-ups show conical tipss like Clew has posting for years.
This particular Cordyceps is used in many medicines. Cordyceps are quite particular in which insects the parasitize, so they are used extensively in biological pest control. Look at what happens to the insects caught in the windowsill next to my computer station: https://www.flickr.com/photos/88053906@N05/15193354039/
Cordyceps have a mechanism for attracting their prey, which could explain the bug attraction that many Morgies report, but I haven't experienced. This isn't to say that my condition hasn't come with strange insect phenomena.
At the onset of my 2011 full-blown-M, a great exterminator came to my house, TWICE, to assure me there were absolutely no insects to explain the biting I felt. But he didn't think I was crazy, he looked at my skin artifacts with a loupe and identified them as "bug parts- that's a thorax and that's a leg". No complete bugs were hatching inside of me. Rather, PIECES of insects that I came in contact with had been sucked into my skin. This seems quite plausible to me, considering that back then my skin could pull dry paint from wood into my dermis. Contrary to some other Morgie anecdotes, I always correlated the colored fibers leaving my skin to the clothing colors recently worn.
The exterminator was right. I soon noticed that my little cabin in the woods, where I always found at least one spider daily, was completely devoid of all bug life for at least 3 months. I've since decimated the Morgellons symptoms, and there is much less of the organism in my environment. I now welcome the huge spiders I find every day, my dog is happy to spend time inside with me again, my living spaces no longer make visitors itch.
Now I'm not saying Morgellons is Cordyceps Militaris, but I think we should be thinking along the lines of a predatory fungus. The invader might be impossible to eradicate unless the host rids itself of the prey. Prey could include borrelia, bartonella, intestinal parasites, or even solvents.
Dunno about all that chemtrail stuff, so many big claims from conspiracy theorists, but I only see a few such as Carnicom offering any quality evidence.
I'd be remiss not to mention, however, that my full-blown M outbreak occurred during the fastest spring thaw I've ever seen, and I was drinking from a shallow well located 20 feet from a major drainage ravine. Two decades of life in the most parasite-endemic parts of the Americas, never dewormed...a dozen-tick exposure history...a supermoon internal parasite hatch.... while drinking from a well tainted by a winter's worth of chemtrail fungus...45 new symptoms in one week... disparate and unrelated puzzle pieces???
Excuse this novel-length post, I really should just start a blog for all I want to say.
Dr. Jamie Seymour, from the first link, if you happen to read this will you please take a look at some of our specimens. Our cause desperately needs a geek with this type of passion.
I loved all of the links WisingUp. Yes, the third video link I posted is inferior. That's because I shot it. One thing that this ordeal has taught me is that when presenting bizarre evidence to the world in 2015, out-of-focus is not acceptable.
The problem was that - like both vids before it - the footage was an accident and surprise. I intended to shoot the hijacked hair in the foreground. Baraka Obam claims to be the original Morgie with 40 years of suffering, and he will tell you that he was very lucky to catch the single growth burst linked above. Now imagine the footage we'd see if a scientist, like Dr. Seymour, set out to document this explosive Morgellons growth.
It really does seem like we are seeing a "coil firing" with these growth bursts. Also, I watch the first link of nematocyst firing in slow mo, and I swear I've seen fibers discharge "venom" like that under 60x. I call one video "Morgellons Goo Machine", because I perceive the fibers to be spraying goo like a shockcrete hose.
Why does the woman sufferer call it "intelligent lint"? I have my own observations (related to Morg PATM and IQ), but recounting them hurts my credibility and I don't think she's talking about the same thing. I've seen the exact same fiber motility she shows, and it was strongest with a fiber fresh from my body that landed near electronics.
One final thought: During hypermorginfestation, I've shed skin artifacts that represent substances I eat, drink or smoke, and they leave my skin within 1-3 seconds of ingestion. How could I ever wrap my head around waste being processed through the bodies organs this quickly? This forced me entertain theories involving horizontal gene transfer that cause us to grow strange skin artifacts from foreign DNA. But when I see how fast the Morgellons Organism can grow and move, I wonder if transporting substances from mouth to palm in 1 second flat is possible.
