While frantically photographing hoppers between rain storms, I got this Photo and now I'm not sure if it was even alive. Thought the experts might enjoy this one . Is that a fungus of sorts ? Paul

Just make a post in the comments section on that page with a link back to this page, if it is determined to be infected with a fungus an admin will add the image to the page.

You can also add a thumbnail image to your comment there by using [*thumb*:*680410*] in your comment (you'll have to remove the *'s).

Best I can tell...
It is a fungus(?)-covered beetle, looks like a weevil under there.

It'd be cool if you could upload this to Mushroom observer, especially if you saved it. :)
