Mushroom being attacked by a lobster mushroom-like similar mold. While called the lobster mushroom, it is actually a mold that attacks certain mushroom species. This actually makes the mushrooms much more palatable and nutritious to people than non-infected mushrooms of the same species. This is not a lobster mushroom, but still a mushroom-attacking mold that alters the morphology of the mushroom.
