Trichia botrytis infected with Polycephalomyces tomentosus

https://www.reddit.com/r/mycology/comments/u37eft/a_fungus_eating_a_slime_eating_bacteria_eating_a/

the slime is the two dark bulbous things on stalks, and the fungus is the fuzzy white stuff spiking out of the top of the right slime! the slime feeds off of bacteria that eats the wood it’s growing on

Huh, I didn’t realise Trichoderma had a culinary application. It’s the main pathogen that attacks culinary fungi and ruins entire colonies.
