Ophiocordycepskimflemingiae within the mandibles demonstrate association with extracellular vesicle-like particles. Numerous fungal cells possess extracellular vesicle-like particles (arrows) attached to their cell bodies (A,C; boxed regions are shown at higher magnification in B and D, respectively; SEM images). While in most cases, these vesicles appear in small clusters (B), in some instances, large masses are evident (D). Scale bars: A, 2 µm; B, 1 µm; C, 10 µm; D, 2 µm. Controls, n=3; infected, n=6.
