[En-En] Entomopathogenic fungi

Hello friends of Hive and the Fungi friday community.
This fungus was on one of the cashew tree roots. According to one of the search results given by the Lens application, it may be Pleurotus albidus.
I did not find information on this one, but I will take advantage of mentioning that there are the so-called Entomopathogenic fungi, which are those that grow on the bodies of certain insects that are harmful to some plants and destroy them, so they become protectors. This is the class of fungi that some farmers use to control certain pests.

Hola amigos de Hive y de la comunidad de Fungi friday.
Este hongo estaba en una de las raíces del árbol de merey. Según uno de los resultados de búsqueda dados por la aplicación Lens puede tratarse de Pleurotus albidus.
No encontré información sobre este, pero aprovecharé de mencionar que existen los llamados Hongos entomopatogenos, que son aquellos que crecen en los cuerpos de ciertos insectos dañinos para algunas plantas y los destruyen, por lo que se convierten en protectores. Esta es la clase de hongos que usan algunos agricultores para el control de una serie de plagas.

Entomopathogenic fungi constitute a broad group of microscopic fungi that develop mainly in insects that suck the sap of plants and transmit diseases to them. Its use in agriculture is an environmentally friendly measure since it does not affect other organisms.
