Fig. 1From: Endogenous bacteria inhabiting the Ophiocordyceps highlandensis during fruiting body developmentHabitats and morphology of O. highlandensis at six time points from April to September. The map was created with ArcGIS 10.2 software. All the photographs were generated with a regular digital camera. April, white larva; May, dead ossified larva, gold; June, stroma rising from the head of the host larva, solitary, 2–4 cm long, stipe cylindrical, 2–3 mm in diam, smooth; July, 6–8 cm long, 1.5–2.5 mm in diam, dark-brown to blackish; August, fertile portion of stroma growing; September, Polycephalomyces synnemata rising from the stroma of Ophiocordyceps highlandensis (repeated parasitization)Back to article page
