WIP Amber Fungi
A dead carpenter ant biting onto a needle of an umbrella pine, fruiting bodies of its parasitic fungus, Allocordyceps baltica, emerge from its neck, thorax and butt. A dead barklouse is stuck to the surface of a sap droplet. The barklouse's wings are spread open unnaturally, and the long fruiting body or stroma of its parasitic fungus, Ophiocordyceps dominicanus, grows from its abdomen.
