laughingjimsDescription
About a dozen small white growths or conidia were observed on the roots of a uprooted tree. The larvae host was fully buried in the soil. The larvae were all oriented the same way with the fungi producing conidia out of the head. The larvae are also in a casing indicating they were going into pupation. Conidia are fusiform and very small. They were hard to get a good photo of. Mycroscopy photos at 1000x

WEW019 Was collected by Bitty Roy and Keyyana Blount on Feb 3, 2015 at Big Spires Prairie, which is a restored native prairie near Fern Ridge Reservoir, Lane County, Oregon. The fungus is terrestrial and grass associated; the grass present was Festuca roemeri (native). This prairie had been burned a few months earlier, in the fall of 2014. No trees were nearby.
