Thanks @ragman for joining me and the Philly Myco club on today’s foray! Here’s my coolest find: a sexual morph of a cordyceps cicadeae (yes like the genus of fungi for the last of us). It’s my first entomological fungi I’ve found on my own. My friend really loves these jawns and it’s her second time ever seeing this morph, so I was super glad to bestow it upon her 😊

Edit: we’re not sure about the exact species so it’s going to get sequenced and then the dehydrated specimen will be saved in the academy of natural science’s herbarium
