Se disecó un hongo bolete con el hongo Hypomyces en Lick Creek Park. College Station, Texas, 19 de julio de 2018. La imagen muestra un hongo bolete diseccionado con una infección fúngica llamada Hypomyces. El hongo yace sobre su lado, revelando su estructura interna. La tapa y el tallo del hongo son principalmente blancos, pero algunas partes han sido teñidas de amarillo por el hongo. El hongo ha infectado el interior del hongo, volviéndolo amarillo brillante. Parece que el hongo también ha comenzado a descomponer el tejido del hongo, haciéndolo blando y esponjoso. En segundo plano, hay una superficie parduzca grisácea que se parece a la tierra o al suelo. Hay algunos pequeños ramitos y hojas dispersados alrededor del hongo, lo que sugiere que fue encontrado en un entorno natural como el suelo de un bosque o una zona boscosa.
