FIGURE 3. Morphology and ecology of Polycephalomyces yunnanensis (a–k). a. Synnemata on the stroma of Ophiocordyceps nutans; b. Synnemata arising from a stink bug corpse; c. Caespitose synnemata with a cream-coloured conidial mass on the fertile part of O. nutans; d. Tomentous stipe and capitate conidial mass; e. A single β-conidia at the apex of a β-phialide; f. Single and catenate β-conidia on β- phialides; g. Several β-conidia formed a spore ball on a β-phialide; h. Verticillate phialides from a conidial mass; i. Catenate β-conidia on a α-phialide; j. α-conidia, k. β-conidia; l. A culture on PDA showing the developing synnemata. Scale bars: a, b, l =1 cm; c = 2 mm; d = 200 μm; i = 10 μm; e, f, g, h, j, k = 5 μm.
