Hi there
Today i found in the forest on the ground a fungus that i can't determine.
I believe that the fungus grow on a cocon, but im don't know if that true.
In the Internet i found the similar genus Gibellula, but I'm not sure if that's the same as my mushroom is :/
The spores have a size of 4-6 x 2 µm
Can you help me ?
Thanks in advance,
Thorben

Hi Thorben,
this looks like Isaria farinosa (Paecilomyces farinosus) to me.

Re : A kind of Gibellula ?
also to me. Could be sensu stricto (closely related to Cordyceps militaris and in some places given as synony of Cordyceps sobulifera). Gibellulas kill spiders. Your fungus is presumably on a lepidoteran pupa
