Here's one of my favorite pictures I've taken this year. Marasmius capillaris emerging from the stalk of an oak leaf.

Ophiocordyceps sinensis, the #caterpillar #fungus, has a fascinating dual lifestyle. It is both an #endophytic and #entomopathogenic fungus.

The fungus produces spores that settle on vegetation, and when ghost moth larvae feed on contaminated plant material, the fungus becomes parasitic.
