Once one takes a look at details of fungi through a digital microscope with 20-80-350 x magnification, one sees all kinds of larvae and insects using the fungus for food supply or as a nursery or hunting ground, such as a mite (photo 1) on the pores and a larva (photo 2) coming out of a tube of Coriolopsis trogii.

David,

No, just saw them (there were a lot running around) at 20 x magnification and it could just as well be a tick, which also is a member of the mite family.

Roadside Cherry Plum with more than it's fair share of fungoid interaction (for another thread)

But what caught the eye was what looked like spiders webs all over these Phellinus pomaceus.
