Comparisons of different fossils in the same locations suggest that it rearranged itself into fewer but larger main masses as the sediment grew deeper round its base.

Dimple marks in offshore sandstone have been found in the same deposits as Horodyskia, suggesting that they may be remnants of older holdfasts.

Partial burial and branching of these tubes suggest that it may have had a benthic sessile lifestyle.

[1] Species of Horodyskia has been found in Western Australia,[3] Southern China,[4] and in parts of North America,[1] They are found in siliciclastic rocks such as sandstone, often as casts or molds.

[4] More recently it has been hypothesized that they are a type of Geosiphon-like fungus (Glomeromycota, Archaeosporales), due to the similarity of Horodyskia’s bead-like structures to the bladders of early growth stage Geosiphons.
