The controlling fungus
This fungus will make you look at zombie movies differently. Cordycipitaceae is a type of fungus that can attack animals and live inside their bodies. If that isn’t scary enough, you won’t believe what else this fungus can do. This fungus looks beyond terrifying, but the picture below shows what this fungus is really capable of.
Cordycipitaceae not only lives and occupies space inside its host, but it can also control the body of the animal it lives on. We swear this is not a lie or part of the plot of a horror film. Like on this spider, the fungus gets into the muscles of the insect or animal and moves it to the place it thinks is convenient. We hope you don’t have any nightmares about this tonight.
