Is this a case bearing beetle? Does it have fungus on it or is it just fuzzy?
I'd like an ID, please.

I think this is the only cryptocephaline that would be covered with fuzz like this.

Fuzzy
Was this found near a sycamore by any chance? See this.

There are sycamores in the area.
I found it on an outside wall of a building near a creek in a wooded area in our small nature park. Interesting link!
