Evidence of mycoparasitism and hypermycoparasitism is demonstrated in Early Cretaceous Burmese amber. The agaric, Palaeoagaracites antiquus gen. sp. nov., is parasitized by the mycoparasite, Mycetophagites atrebora gen. sp. nov., which in turn is parasitized by the hyperparasite, Entropezites patricii gen. sp. nov. This discovery shows that sophisticated patterns of fungal parasitism were well developed some 100 Myrago.
白垩纪早期缅甸琥珀中发现了真菌寄生和重寄生现象的证据。伞菌Palaeoagaracites antiquus属新种被真菌寄生物Mycetophagites atrebora属新种寄生，而后者又被重寄生物Entropezites patricii属新种寄生。这一发现表明，复杂的真菌寄生模式在约1亿年前就已高度发展。
