In many animals with feet, the foot is a separate organ at the terminal part of the leg made up of one or more segments or bones, generally including claws or nails....

Trivia

  • Entomologists once thought that these fungi were actually morphological characteristics of the insect hosts they parasitized, until a mycologist by the name of Mayr, looked under the microscope and declared it a fungus
    Fungus

    A fungus is a Eukaryote organism that is a member of the Kingdom Fungi . The fungi are a monophyletic group, also called the Eumycota , that is phylogeny distinct from the morphologically similar slime molds and water molds ....

  • These fungi can be some of the most host-specific parasites, even going so far as to have a preference for sides on a fly (left side, due to mating behavior)!
