Fungi called alien body called an alien body, drama developing between r/MushroomID and r/AlienBodies.

TLDR: (I THINK) it's Cordyceps, probably a member of Ophiocordyceps.

Edit for details/clarity: OP, allthedimmerswitches, posted a garden photo to /r/MushroomID, an educational Reddit page.

Link to Reddit comment prompting cross post.

Mushroom ID has locked the post and it is around 1,000 comments.

The mushroom ID sub, /r/mushroomID frequently has fun with this issue of Cordyceps, and has taken to quickly denote the described post here as an alien body.

Users recommended OP to post in the /r/AlienBodies subreddit, which also received the image in good humor.

Estimated X-files streaming bump across Hulu/Amazon Prime, +2,000 (±250).

ETA: dude, what did speech to text do to my title?
