Ima a big fan love ur videos ❤ every video of urs is intresting
While the whole plant looks about as appetizing as Cordyceps fungus, Eleuthero or Siberian Ginseng is about as good of a health tonic according to lab research data.
The scary thing about this though is that in the wrong hand gene editing and a zombie fungus could result in a situation like this

It would be nearly impossible to turn this fungus into a viable infection. The human body is too warm and complicated, and there's no reason for the fungus to make such a huge jump. This won't happen in real life, and it's kinda tiring seeing so much misinformation being spread around.

@Geargorex cordyceps can't really grow there since it's too cold, but even if they did, the chances of that specific mutation happening are slim to none. Also, much of the chernobyl area is safe and isn't very radioactive anymore.

Man last of us has nothing on 28 days later zombies but still equally as scary because this could actually be possible one day
Similar to the fungus zombifying ants, that is so dark
Why did I watch this before I fell asleep
This is why the polar ice caps should never ever fully melt away!!!!!!
What if the cordyceps mutated?
How come watch ratio is so small comparison to the subscribers
0:59 yes spider extinction yes yes yes yes😊
I will never sleep again after watching this video 🙂
When someone ate cordyceps Me: WE'RE DOOM
Lovw what videos❤❤
I guess ima be thinking of this when l eat pancakes btw thank you what if l just learn a lot of more things even tho I’m a kid watching this.
It's impossible for the fungus to mind control you to this extent. Human brains and bodies are too complex, so don't worry.

I thought it meant what if you ate someone with codeceps coz I wanna know
There's different types of cordyceps. So it depends on which you consume. Research goes a long way
What is a cordycep
wait, doesn't even fungus have an enemy? weaponized bacteria, weaponized orchids lol?? They can do a movie where fungi rule the world, only to be wiped out by bacteria and it can all start over.
How do u came up with this idea
Sounds like fun
What if you were bitted by a black widow spider?
I’m so happy that these funguses can only be found in insects
Cordyceps aren't from The Last of Us. They're from real life.
What if someone is allergic to cordycep

Oh no
I eat cordyceps militaris every morning.
I didn't know zombie could change their clothes and gender in the thumbnail 😂
If that real, i Will be Spiderman because everything is possible lol
People actually already eat and supplement cordyceps
How could bites infect a healthy human considering fungus transmission is done through spores? Spores in saliva would breakdown through acidity.
I ate cordyceps after having covid.
So this will actually happen in the future cause the sun is growing and it'll get hotter and hotter so good luck to those who will be born in like 100 billion years.
3.5° F according to science. All it needs to start adapting to a human body temperature. Of course 3.5 is a lot.

Also not to forget and to take into consideration is apart from warming up the planet the human average body temperature has been getting lower we have been thought it should be 36.5C but am always around 34/35 Celsius if I have a temp of 37 I am feeling rough bed bound and sweating while feeling ice cold not in a good place
Please upload your "What if hindi" channel 🙏
The last of Ants
Im curious, what if you forced someone to eat an insect that is infected by cordyceps? Would they turn or not? I do pray that it happens in real life, sometimes. I need some answers, serious ones, please.
What am Chinese it’s good and healthy
