Description
Erynia is a group of fungal parasites that infect insects. They develop inside their hosts, eventually causing death. The fungi then emerge from the insect's body, producing spore-bearing structures. Some species can create epidemics in insect populations, making them potential biological control agents for pest management in agriculture and forestry.
