Never thought i would see something like this :O

Last weekend i was at work...
I made my break and saw a death fly hanging at the mirror of a wardrobe.

I was wondering why white pulver was arround the death fly.
In the same moment i thought about it, i remembered that we spoke about fungi and their spores in my biology class.

So i informed me about this theme again and i found out that the white pulver are spores from a fungus.

Picture taken from Wikipedia

This fungus is called Entomophthora muscae.

Soon after a fly dies from infection with this pathogenic fungus a small area near the fly get full of spores like in the first picture, taken by myself.

These types of fungus are really interesting, in my opinion, so i thought i could share this experience with you.
