Hi there,

for some time now, colleagues and I have been finding egg-shaped formations with fungal structures on the shell in fungi.
So far, an identification has been unsuccessful.
The assumption goes in the direction of insect egg and also the AG Diptera (Germany) was written to, but so far without result.
Yesterday I found similar micro pictures of the eggs of the genus Syrphidae.
See:

Pictures from the colleagues and the discussion in the forum of the German Society of Mycology.

Do you have any idea what this could be ?

Thanks in advance,
Thorben

I am a hobby mycologist who has rather little to do with Diptera. However, now and then there are fungi on insects and there you have to know what kind of host it is.
