FairfaxJack
Is… is this real? I mean, I really want it be but don’t want to get my hopes up
onlyhalfghost
no, the film they're actually making is leucochloridium paradoxum
…smart ass :-)
VibratingNipples
isn't this base on the zombie fungus that control bugs long after they're dead?
DarkwingDuc
They're called cordyceps, hence the name
Brix83
yes, but the bugs aren't dead while the fungus has control of them. it kills them only after it's forced them into the ideal place to spawn.
Alfadorfox
So Ratatouille but smaller.
PrincessWendyB
Less benevolent too

It would fit under the rat's hat.

Why not Ratatouille but bigger?

michybean
That’s amazing
ColdfreezeZero
This was the best part in the movie
I mean, that's a big claim. The movie was fucking phenomenal and there were so many parts of it I loved for very different reasons
I'm rather partial to this one.

Bigblackdick69
When I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, this is how I told my family. Thank you for this laugh
thekeyofe
IT'S NAHT A TUMAH!
AnnieMoosie
Kindergarten Cop!
DUser01
It's a fungus that turns insects into zombies.
treed240z
isn't that the fungus that grows into the brain of insects and drives them crazy and kills them?
Shyamallama
APOTHECARY GARY!
Nah, this is just two friends on an adventure. Nothing to worry about here :D She's just sharing her nervous system with a fungus friend.
BigRCG
So you're saying their friend is a fun-guy?
wannafresh1
Omg thanks dad
JayJay99447
How long have you waited your turn for the pun? I'm trying to figure out where I am in the queue...
hatethisbit
Apparently there's new research showing the fungus doesn't hijack the brain but the nervous system and the muscles, so the hosts lose...
Fenrishunter500
I thought the brain was part of the nervous system?
StudioC2
My intro psych book says it is part of the central nervous system, along with the nerves in your spinal column.
..control of their bodies but may remain aware of what's happening the whole time
JustLettingPeopleBeWrong
Oh. Good.
TurdBurglar3000
I had the feeling one scene in E03 of The Last of Us was sort of referring to this.
mymustachecallstheshots
Thanks, it did not need to be more terrifying.
GoofyFoot
oh god.. that's worse..
Someshithead241
Especially in terms of the Last of Us, hehe.
PlsSendMePen15
It is actually a thing in the last of us, at least in the Runner stage before it completely annihilates the brain.
CatBeagler
What i'd like to know is if the fungus has a rudimentary consciousness.
Wmcmwa
I've taken mushrooms several times and yeah there's defo something going on
MlSSlNGN0
Do you really wish to be burdened by such knowledge?
It is not me, but the fungus who asks.
thefuzziestofbutts
Meanwhile, I get ads like this... I see you cordyceps... You can't be sneaky.
ThatAintRightItsAllLeft
Stamets 7 is good stuff.
knifewrench
It's already got the coffee company and the ad company
ih8clickb8
Shit shit shit shit shit SHIT!
Ryanator50
reminds me of "The Stuff"
TheElusiveEnchilada
Good news everyone! We don't even need to worry about the grain supply chain.
StarfallSnow
Is this how 'The Last of Us' starts...?
LucidAftermath
Yes
unclesporky
No, it would be The First of Us.
VodkaReindeer
Wait, I thought that was shopped. What were they thinking?
somnif
Cordyceps(technically Ophiocordyceps) has been a popular part of traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. It's usefulness is... overblown
somethingdark
That it doesn't do the same thing to humans that it does to ants
Flowerlady0
... until it does.........
That despite the fear mongering that a game now series creates it's still fiction and people should understand that. Cordyceps has been
Part of human diet for centuries maybe more, it's ok and it has some useful properties 2/2
Kamchatkah
Wtf is an adaptogen?
OmnesMundiLardum
Who knows, but it's what "humans" crave.
FlatPlutoSociety
Health supplement marketing buzzword, similar to "nootropic."

Burke616
A word that sounds good but has no legal definition, meaning you can't be held accountable in a court of law for any promises it alludes to.
Makes sense.
That doesn't sound very cromulent.
Stop embiggening things.
Btw, it does have some good properties, like other mushrooms
funnystoryaboutthat
I prefer the ones that make me see sounds and hear colors
Colopty
It got Sheldonian too!
Be part of us, be one with us ⊙___⊙
enotrevo
This is false. Everybody knows that cordyceps are essential for good health and a mandatory part of a balanced diet.
lorilith
I see you, Regular Human. I too believe you must succumb to the mighty health benefits of cordyceps
daranthered
Until The Last of US I was putting a drop of cordyceps oil in my coffee, now I...can't. I does give you an energy boost.
kraeftig
The energy boost is the fungus demanding action
Oh man I've got so much energy! I could just climb to the highest point of that tree! So much energy
ThatChi11Guy
So it wasn't the zombie ant videos?
Nope, but my best friend is absolutely freaked out by those.
In case you're serious, don't fall for fear mongering of a fictional piece, it's fine
Oh it's not rational, it's the way they animated it in the series. Put me right off.
Oh ok that makes sense
GoldenBrownApples
I used to be afraid of mushrooms because of that animated show about a dog. Courage. A character had shrooms growing off his arms.
He ripped them off and chucked them at people. Freaked me out for years. Now I have mushrooms tatt'd all up my arms in a fairy ring.
