This Zombie Fungus Mind Controls Insects
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Animal zombies might not behave like the zombies you’ve seen on “The Walking Dead.” Instead, these zombies lose control over their bodies and behavior when infected by parasitic fungi called Cordyceps. Cordyceps has over 400 varieties and infects as many as 10 different insect groups. How about having your brain overrun by a deadly parasite while being eaten alive? If you were an insect this is one fungus you’d want to avoid.

This would be a cool basis for a video game and then maybe a show.

This is so disgusting and horrifying. I hope there will never be Fungus that do that to humans.

I'm not sure how to trigger it, but at the beginning of The Last of Us, you can find an image of an ant infected with Cordyceps.
I'm really glad I'm not an ant, if eaten from the inside isn't bad enough your then kicked out of the colony. 😳

Some ant species have evolved to keep guard ants outside the entrances to the colony who's only purpose is to identify and kill cordyceps infected workers, then take its body to an external graveyard away from the colony where they then commit suicide to protect their colony from infection. Pretty wild stuff, it's incredible how much ants have evolved.

natural cordycept fungus is a medical remedy in China and quite expensive !! you also can by cultivated cordycept for a lesser price
I knew about Cordyceps but not Massosporas. I never knew that parasites would be capable of literally drugging their victims
Oooh, I got some really good psychedelic Zombie Cicada art forming in my mind.
I was that some insects could take over the bodies of others (usually for spawning purposes I think)… this is a new one 🤯
It must suck to be an insect. Not only do you have to watch out for every other creature out to eat you, now the mushrooms are in on it too.
now after watching this i just look outside and realize how truly bizarre this world is
The Last of Us 3 will focus on the hyper sexual variant.

Those cordyceps they sell in chinese medical halls cost US$30 - $40k per kilo.
Yes, but will it work on my enemies?
It sounds like eventually cicadas will dye out.
I think I’m gonna stick to shrooms. I ain’t eating no cicada
Interesting.

Each time the editor inserts a funny picture of a person, which is terribly annoying and not funny at all. Cut it off. Annoying.
