Mycelium Mildew parasitic fungus in October on Pawtuckaway North Mountain in New Hampshire

And, even weirder: this Mycelium Mildew is a parasitic fungus, enveloping and rotting a regular mushroom (barely visible underneath). It reminds me of the cute poem:
 
"Big bugs have little bugs
upon their backs to bite them.
Little bugs have littler bugs.
And so, ad infinitum."
