And they say fungi are friendly!

Paints psilocybin in a completely different light, if you ask me. The fungi are not our friends. They would consume us if they could!

Quote:

What was once thought to be one species of fungus now turns out to be at least 28. Each zombifies a different species of ants or attacks other insects.

These species all belong to a much bigger group of fungi. Many of their relatives feed on dead plants, while some infect insects — mostly a group called hemipterans, which includes aphids and cicadas.

Dr. Araújo, now a research fellow at University of the Ryukyus in Japan, analyzed the DNA of more than 600 of these related species. Comparing the genetic sequences, he was able to draw a fungal family tree.

The tree revealed that all Ophiocordyceps species descend from a common ancestor. But that ancestor did not infect a hemipteran. Instead, the scientists concluded, it started out infecting the larvae of beetles.

no need to be afraid of the cordyceps, just climb up your nearest tall grass and be consumed by a bird. the circle of life
