Spotting

Description:

In a first look, I thought that was a very different spider... But, so I saw that actually was a spider... A dead spider with a lot of little mushrooms. In two cases, one of them: or the spider died and the fungus takes your body. Or, this is a kind of parasite fungus that turns the spider on zombie for the spider go to a good place to the fungus grow up and take the spider body. (I really am trusting more in the second one)

Habitat:

I found this specimen under a rock on my garden, in a region of transition between the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest.
