The Last of Us
Everybody thought this game was really good. It resembles this movie in a few ways (fungus zombies!).
Get the thing Amazon
Zombie Parasites from Nat Geo Live
Sense of smell
Hunting by smell. Covering scents. Smelling slow and fast. The power of Axe Body spray. The power of chemical warfare. How “smells” work.
IRL
Ophiocordyceps unilateralis! The real fungus on which the zombie fungus is based. The rundown of its lifecycle. Biting the leaf. Chemical instructions controlling behaviour.
Cordyceps moving to humans
The difference in arthtropod and human circulatory and nervous systems. How to best spread fungal infections between humans.
The end of homo sapiens
Parasites forcing their hosts to act in their interests. Mushroom towers. The rise of homo boletus. Coming around on anthropocentrism.
Goodbyes
Do you want a cat?
