It is a zombie moth! Akanthomyces aculeatus is a terrifying parasitic fungus in the cordyceps family that slowly takes over and kills adult moths. After paralyzing the moth, the fungus will create a blanket of crust, mummifying the moth to a tree. From the body, long spiky rods will rise, covered in spores that will help the fungus reproduce. You can spot this creepy fungi in the back of the viburnum collection, on a Doublefile Viburnum.
