I first misread and thought these were some Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, the ones that feed on insects and make them climb to high places so the parasite can Burst open to spread its spores.
Lovely fellows.
I'm going to do a 'mega post' or smaller of the cordiceps that infect insects over on awwnverts probably this coming week
They're fascinating things in a somewhat horrifying way, and lots of lovely photos to be discovered!
Nice, gonna look forward for it this week.
