Hallo

Bavaria, End of August
I found these dead fly hanging on the housewall.
The fungi: Could it be Entomophthora muscae?

Dennis

Could well be, but you'll need to get the spores under a compound microscope when they should look like a baby's comforter.

The link works with Firefox - (you have to scroll down through the images to see the blue-stained spores).

And I use Firefox.
