The fungus Pandora phalangicida consuming a harvestmen in Howard Co., Maryland (7/5/2013). Richard Orr states, "The spores are oozing from the white mass that is covering the body of the harvestmen. I was final able to match the spores of the fungus up to Pandora phalangicida after mounting a portion of the white mass on a microscope slide. The harvestman was too degraded for me to get an identification on it."
