The only Akanthomyces tuberculatus I ever found on Scoliopteryx libatrix, all other were on Triphosa dubitata. Found in old mine.

Looks like it’ s coming from or near insect eggs?
F1110

Small club protruding from well-decayed log. White mass (host?) found inside log.

Reminiscent of Cordyceps sensu lato, no host found. Some sort of eggs found at base of mycelial threads?
F1098

I replanted it..

Parasitized weta under a rock at about 1000m asl in boulder field.

In redwood forest

Unfortunately I wasn't aware what I've found at the time and didnt dig up the host.

JP23-0301

P. gracillioides or gracilis

Large, on fallen conifer, either Douglas fir or grand fir

Fruiting off Cricket deep within a small hole

Fruiting off larvae

Lots of specimens in this location all fruiting off beetles slightly beneath the soil surface

Fruiting off larvae

Fruiting off larvae in the soil

Host buried loosely in top of decaying log.
F953

Female

stroma 3-4mm, host in wood

Host appears to be Platydracus sp

On large Coleoptera larva inside decaying wood branch, probably Cerambycidae.

Seems to be on a caterpillar? Unburned site.

Specimen collected. Yet again, host incomplete and brittle

Growing from an Elaphomycete under moss.

Maybe?!? In rotting stump…

Growing in xeric sand. This species is known by @richtehan and will be described as T bulbosum.

I believe this is a click beetle larva. Found under pine bark on a rotting log.

On caterpillar, located in between the back parking lots on the lefthand side of the road across from chapel trailhead, in the grass, straight across from rock pile

Growing in moss at the edge of woods of pine, oak and hickory.

I’m unsure if this is Gibellula and am open to other suggestions. Saw something strange in the center of a lichen with some webbing on it.

On Ichneumonid wasp

Diepwalle, January 2021

Looked for an insect body but none found. Sporocarps very brittle/fragile.
