I misread the title and thought someone had finally photographed the fungal fruiting body.

Interesting report. I find it intrigiung that each time we think we have figured things out or discovered everything, something new comes along which forces us to review what we knew. This also draws me to an article I read talking about the science behind The Last Of Us (video game/ TV show) where they said a fungus infection similar to those that cause Zombie Ants. could not infect humans. Although not quite the same, this case here might want to rethink that.
