04 Dec 08 - Hi, we had a clean up and removed the photos that while fungi, .. actually some were lichen and moss... but I digress, ..that while fungi, were not using insects or arthropods as a substrate. I've made it so the photos go into a queue. Some photos we'll put up if its not certain, but I'm pretty sure there are no entomopathogenic boletes or basidomycetes discovered to date.

Entomopathogenic = fungi that kill insects (and spiders...)
