Ciri dan struktur
The fruiting bodies of Cordyceps locustiphila form gregariously as clubs through breaks and joints in the chitinous shell of their host locusts. The stipe of the club is a fleshy greyish yellow with a length of 1–4 mm long and a diameter of 1–2 mm. The stromata formed on the ends of the club are bright yellow and have a simple, claviform, body plan, ranging from 3–5 mm in length and 2–4 mm in width. Ovoid perithecia are semi-immersed within the walls of the stoma, and have a wall smaller than 50 micrometers. The anamorph of this fungi forms as an ocher yellow hyphal network which turns white at the external margins. The hyphae have a diameter of 1.5–2.5 nanometers. The fungi produces conidiophores with acremonium-like phialides that are simple and erect from the hyphal mat. Conidia are cylindrical in appearance, and are produced solitarily, or via the slime drop method. This asexual phase is what spurned the reclassification as a Beauveria species
Habitat dan peran ekologis
C. locustiphila has evolved to be closely dependent on its host species, grasshoppers in the genus Colpolopha. As such, it is limited to the range of this grasshopper, and are endemic to South America, including regions of north-central Argentina, Northern Chile, Southern Brazil, and south east Peru. { "type": "FeatureCollection", "features": [ { "type": "Feature", "properties": {}, "geometry": { "type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [ [ [ -69.448097, -14.891352 ], [ -51.875133, -20.714656 ], [ -51.945419, -29.246826 ], [ -59.115196, -31.611849 ], [ -64.527667, -36.673339 ], [ -69.166923, -39.060634 ], [ -69.448097, -14.891352 ] ] ] } } ] } The fungus colonizes the bodies of its host when ascospores become trapped on the chitin exoskeleton by the grasshoppers fine hairs and begin to germinate. As the mycelium develops, it breaks through the exoskeleton to invade the interior cavities of the insects body for protection during growth. The fungi then uses the insect as a source of nutrients and shelter for its lifespan. When it is time to reproduce and disperse spores, the mycelium produces stroma that emerge through gaps and joints in the exoskeleton. Ascospores are then released by semi-embedded Perithecia in the stroma's wall to be dispersed by the wind.
