        Of course ;). I wonder what happened to it. It looks parasitized. But, I guess it could also be deformed? Posted 4 years ago

          I was thinking parasitized, but deformed/mutated is also a possibility! Posted 4 years ago

          Someone suggested the parasite is Mucorales sp. Looks about right :) Posted 4 years ago
