Assassin parasites

in #partiko6 years ago

Some fungi are able to enter the body of some animals (insects and arachnids), use them as food and finally kill them.

This is a photo of an ant eaten by a mushroom. The yellow is the fruit body of the fungus, it is covered with points from which the reproductive spores emerge.

Crazy right!
