That's super cool! Thanks for sharing!

I wonder why something like this would evolve.... It is as if they want to play in "Hard" mode for no obvious reason. They need not only one host to survive, but actually need two different hosts to be present within an area. What do they get out of this complex cycle?

I remember seeing these on a recent local hike! My uneducated self thought it was some very strange looking fruit, only to be told that it was indeed a fungus. Very interesting

Very unsettling to look at, great pic!
