Happy Halloween #FungiFriends #FungiFriday

A rather ghoulish #Arachtober post for the end of October - a fungus infested Liny found this week.

Pics from our Spooky Dookie Double Header Halloween Foray, where we hunted for the most haunting of mushrooms! BLEEDING Mycena, TREMBLING Crusts, WEREWOLF farts, DEADLY Galerina, ALIEN Earthstars, BIOFLUORESCENT fungi, then to top it all off, we stumbled into an absolute honey hole of CANDY CAPS!

Happy Halloween! We’re showing off two spooky fungi from Kew. First up, found by a Fungarium Sequencing Project team member, this Cordyceps militaris is parasitising a moth larva! The beautiful jack-o-lantern orange fruiting body is visible above ground, while the larva is buried beneath the dirt 🪦
