In the Flat Red Bark Beetle post, you may have noticed the dark webbing where the bark has fallen away and exposed the tree trunk.
This:
Fungi.
Most fungi is like this, webs in soil or wood or other substrate. The fruiting bodies, mushrooms, puffballs, and the like, are a small and transient part of the organism.
But those are also the visible parts. The webs are rarely seen unless one goes looking for them.
Or an infested tree falls in your yard.
