This looks like a bolete which has been parasitized by Hypomyces chrysospermus (another fungus)! Posted 4 years ago

    Feel free to add the parasite ID as the bolete is definitely not recognizable at this stage :D Posted 4 years ago

The Bolete eater

The bolete eater, "Hypomyces chrysospermus", is a parasitic ascomycete fungus that grows on bolete mushrooms, turning the afflicted host a whitish, golden yellow, or tan color. It is found in Eurasia and North America, as well as southwest Western Australia. Unlike the related Lobster mushroom, "H. lactifluorum", the bolete eater and its afflicted host mushrooms are inedible.
