Assassin mushrooms

in #partiko • 7 years ago (edited)

This is Cordyceps, a fungus that "controls the mind" of insects and arachnids and then kill them to grow their reproductive body.

This is Ophiocordyceps amazonica, found by Maria Ordoñes and photography @nelson.micofilo in Yasuní Nacional Park in a Ecuador.

Amazing specimen!
