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?

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?
