tobiashaysDescription
Small slender fungal club approximately 3.5 cm long with dark brown color and white tip, parasitizing what appears to be a large (newly mated queen?) ant. Upper length of fruiting body was exposed growing from crevice in bark of a small tree's bark, around 5.5 feet above ground. Under the bark was a small cavity with a dead queen ant covered in mycelia. The fruiting body was growing from the side of ants thorax, up through the decaying bark. One living queen ant was also present in the same small cavity, nesting her pupae.
