Fishing Spider with a fungal infection?
According to BugGuide.net, Dolomedes albineus can have some pretty extensive white markings. Check out this all-white individual:

I wouldn’t expect fungus to grow so symmetrically. On the other hand, I don’t see the white “moustache” marking, so maybe it is fungus. Can Fishing Spiders hybridize?
