Hi,

two questions about this observation:

Is it Scaptodrosophila rufifrons (or Sc. lebanonensis)?

And which fungus is growing on the face of this individual? Is there a specific Stigmatomyces-species for Scaptodrosophila?

Found in the Botanical Garden, Vienna, on Inonotus hispidus.

Cheers,
Lorin
