Zombie Mushroom Facts

"Zombie mushrooms" are called "zombie mushrooms" because of their ability to control the behavior of their hosts. The Ophiocordyceps fungus infects and grows inside insects. This fungus controls the insect's brain, causing it to move to an ideal location for the spread of fungal spores. After the insect dies, the fungus grows from the insect's head and spreads its spores to infect other insects. Ophiocordyceps is a widespread genus of fungi with approximately 140 known species #NatureAnimation #AnimatedEducation #EducationalVideos #NatureLovers #ScienceVideo #EarthScience #LearnWithAnimation
