Mushroom name...

Hey guys  I'm having a brain fart... I'm trying to remember a species of fungus that someone had posted on here awhile back. It is famous for literally growing out of the top of the heads of insects, and it then procedes to consume their bodies for nutrition. Anyone think they can help? All I can remember is pictures of insect caripaces with a stringy mushroom growing out of them.
Thanks again

They wouldn't have stringy mushrooms as 'mushroom' is a term for the fruiting body of certain taxa of fungus.

I believe the mushroom you are referring to is Cordyceps sinensis.

Cordyceps sinensis has been credited with increasing cardiovascular performance of Chinese athletes. Historically, as an aphrodisiac and invigoriting tonic.
There is an interesting booklet called: "Corcyceps: Tonic Food of Ancient China, by Kenneth Jones. It has a long bibliography.
