Cordyceps tuberculata infected moth (collected). First observation from the Netherlands?
Rayan Majoor, 01-06-2021 13:03
Dear members of AscoFrance,

last year, I found a mummified moth, encapsulated in fungus. With some help, I found out that this might be the fungus Cordyceps tuberculata (see https://forum.waarneming.nl/index.php/topic,467928.0.html and http://www.ascofrance.com/uploads/document/cordyceps-final-relu-CLL-09-01-3-2015-0001.pdf). However, this fungus has never before been reported in the Netherlands. Unfortunately I couldn't find it back afterwards, so I couldn't verify the observation.
Two days ago however, I found a similar mummified moth, only several hundreds of meters south from where I found the moth last year (so practically at the same location). Both moths were positioned at the upper end of a branch of Calluna vulgaris, quite clearly visible for anyone with an eye for the smaller creatures in nature.
This time of course I have collected the specimen. However, I do not know anyone who would be able to confirm the identification (or maybe identify it as another species). Moreover, I do not have the equipment or experience to make a microscopic documentation of the spores. So is there anyone who knows an expert who could take a look at this specimen and give me a definitive identification? 

Kind regards,
Rayan Majoor

(P.S. the photos are from the specimen from two days ago (and can also be viewed here https://waarneming.nl/observation/215379105/). Photo's from the specimen of last year can be viewed here https://waarneming.nl/observation/192574951/).

Re : Cordyceps tuberculata infected moth (collected). First observation from the Netherlands?
Bonjour Laurent,

merci beaucoup! 'New' species for the Netherlands, I wonder whether there are still other places where it can be found within the country. But good to know that it indeed is C. tuberculata.

Kind regards,
