Females carry the fungal spores in mycangia near the tip of the ovipositor and when eggs are laid the fungus is deposited with them in a sticky matrix. The larvae then carry the fungi into the wood on their bodies and when it grows the larvae begin to feed on the fungi. It's bizzaro, yes. Even some males have this thing called apical maxillary palpomere modified into a complex, plumose sensory organ.
