It's still a cordyceps in a sense... Akanthomyces are an anamorphic form (reproduce asexually by producing conidia) of a telemorphic Cordyceps species (reproduce sexually by producing ascospores).

Acording to the new ICN nomenclature rules, the anamorphic and telemorphic forms will share the same name, with which ever one was published first taking priority.

I thought that they were going to take the telemorph name. So they're not all going to become Cordyceps? That will make things so confusing.

Those are awesome.
I wonder why they produce a lattice like net structure.
Maybe as a barrier to protect the spore producing lamellae from predators. Is the net Sticky? as to catch insects that try to climb through it?

The spores are produced on the surface of the cap (the brown slimy part) which attracts insects to spread them. If you look closely you can see a little fly on the cap. Not sure what the point of the net is. I dont think it was sticky.
It also could be a P. merulinus, as the ones we saw were all pretty small (between 7-15cm)

That's a pretty sweet mushroom. My friend showed me a time lapse of it one time.
Blew my mind
