The origin section of both Paras and Parasect discuss entomopathogenic fungi, but neither mention any of the real-world species that actually attack cicada nymphs. These include Paecilomyces cicadae, Cordyceps cicadae and Isaria cicadae, all of which are also harvested as medicinal mushrooms. Whereas a healthy cicada nymph would emerge from the ground and molt into an adult, nymphs affected by these die in the soil and a mushroom emerges instead.[[User:Scythemantis|Scythemantis]] ([[User talk:Scythemantis|talk]]) 16:36, 25 February 2021 (UTC) | |||
