Description: Ophiocordyceps caloceroides infecting an unknown species of Tarantula. This species of fungi is parasitic on tarantulas. At this point, the fungus has consumed the tissues of the spider and has fruiting ascocarps that produce spores. This infection kills the tarantula host. This picture was taken in the Santa Lucia Cloud Forest Reserve in Ecuador on a trip with Earlham College.
