Spinellus fusiger
Some sort of parasite growing from these fungi found on wet wood near a river at 2200 m. During the reproductive phase of its life cycle, Spinellus fusiger grows throughout the cap of the mushroom host, eventually breaking through to produce radiating reproductive stalks (sporangiophores) bearing minute, spherical, terminal spore-containing structures called sporangia.
