Looking to ID the mites. If you have an ID for the mygalomorph host, I have a separate entry for it.
Also, any ideas if these are parasitic, or could they be mutualistic/some other relationship?
Spider leg span about 60mm. Mites maybe 1-2mm each.

Appeared to be growing out of a banksia. Not sure if it could be parasitic like a mistletoe, but it looks like Acacia 🤔
