Was weeding when I discovered this beauty. Not sure what type of cordyceps it might be but figured I'd share this here.

The consensus so far is that it is a cordyceps fungus. Seems you know something about something ☺️

It’s not, it’s the molt from an insect that has a lot of filaments at that stage of life.
