    They said that there are over a million unknown species of fungi in the Amazon and the majority are unknown. I wouldn't doubt that there is a species of fungus that could do something similar to a man. It's kind of a freaky thought huh? lol. Almost alien like if you ask me.

    I wonder whats going through their tiny minds?

    I love that the cordyceps directs the insect to climb to the top of the canopy so that the wind can spread the spores farther afield.
