Christopher EngelhardtHi.
Found today in a swamp in N Germany on a dead Pardosa spider.
Any idea what it is?
Thanks & regards

Hi
it's a bit early in its development to say much; no conidia in evidence. Presumably a Gibellula / Torrubiella species. Perhaps others can take it further . . .
best wishes

Hello Christopher,

Always very interesting these 'freaks' of nature.
Difficult to say without microscopic data.
I don't think Gibellula or Torrubiella, other structures.
Perhaps this article by Evans & Samson (1987) can be of any help (see attachment).

All the best!
Ron

Chris & Ron, thank you very much for your comments.
Anybody knows a key or descriptions on how to get further with these kind of funghi? We still have it and could use microscopic features - if we knew where to got....
Thanks,
have a good
day
Chris

Hi Christopher,

Maybe this paper by Humber can help you (see attachment).
It contains a key to the major genera of fungal entomopathogens.
Once you know the genus it's often a small step to the species.

Success!
