Polycephalomyces tomentosus is a type of fungus that belongs to a group known for parasitizing insects. Typically, it infests and eventually replaces the host tissue with its own structures. This fungus forms intricate, thread-like structures often visible as a network enveloping the host. It is usually found in moist, forested areas where these insects are abundant.
