With Season 2 of The Last of Us underway, the fungal horror at the heart of the story is once again in the spotlight. While the show’s Cordyceps Brain Infection is fictional, it’s inspired by a very real fungus: Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, which hijacks the bodies of insects to complete its life cycle. Though a human jump is extremely unlikely, climate change and rising fungal resistance are making real fungal pathogens more dangerous. Comment “🧟♂️” below to read our article on The Last of Us and explore where fact meets fiction—and what it means for the future of fungi. #northspore #cordyceps #thelastofus #hbo #zombiefungus #fungi #mushrooms
