User's notes
The fungi shown in sighting 4675112 were covered with various insects including Springtails and Globular Springtails. Many of these were either dead or dying, lying on their sides or backs, something I haven't seen before. Not sure if they were killed by the fungi, the cold weather (-1C previous night) or something else.
