Cordyceps sp. (genus) (Caterpillar fungus)

The Cordyceps fungus attacks a host, and the mycelium invades the host and replacs the host tissue.

There are approximately 400 species of Cordyceps fungi worldwide.

They are know to parasitise a wide diversity of hosts and much study is still required here in Australia.

Cordyceps sp. (genus) is listed in the following regions:

Canberra & Southern Tablelands | South Coast

Species page sighting lists are under redevelopment and will return very soon.
