I read about this mushroom. This fungus parasitizes on ants and some other animals. This is a mushroom puppeteer who skillfully adapts the body of his victim and uses it for his own purposes. It sounds creepy. Previously, it would seem fantastic.
Thanks for the interesting post!
There are lots of these things! Some are worms and larvae that eat the brain of the host and erupt from the back of the head... it's horrifying, yet fascinating!
