I wonder whether the aphids and fungal mycelium co-exist or it is only the wooly aphis (aphids) known to occur on many trees like apple, pear, elm, silver maple, ash, pine, spruce, hawthorn, juneberry, etc. The wooly covering of these aphids looks like a fungal mycelium. I remember when we used to pinch this wooly mass, our hands would be full with sticky blood of aphids.
