Hi!
Can you help me to identify the fungus that killed this wasp?
location: Barcelos, Portugal
date: 2007/08/01

Difficult to tell without a sample, but it looks very like one of the
Hymenostilbe species, possibly
Hymenostilbe sphecophila. (You would need to examine it microscopically before attaching this name to the image!)

Thank you very much Tony:). I did not collect the fungus, so unfortunately it won't be possible to identify:(.
