iNaturalist was no help.
I hate trying to ID spiders. Just looking at most of them makes my skin crawl.

That's always best practice in these situations.

It may actually be, sort of. It looks like it may be infected with some parasite or fungus.
Where are you located, OP?

has to be some kind of fungus. killing the spider would actually be doing it a favor

Or could be eggs or baby spiders. Found a wolf spider at work and the women there were freaking out. Then they got pissed when I killed it and a bunch of baby spiders went everywhere. Can't please them all.

I googled it and zombie spider fungus is a real thing but the pics online looked slightly different. This one looks like it got dipped in elmers glue

Move this to the OB and not only will you get an answer, you'll find out if it's male or female, where it's typically found in the US and whether it prefers jambalaya or pastalaya.

Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, otherwise known as cordyceps or zombie-ant fungus, infects insects such as ants or spiders. Like other parasites, cordyceps drains its host completely of nutrients before filling its body with spores that will let the fungus reproduce

My son thinks it has mold like another poster said.
