Cordyceps - That motherforgetin' zombie fungus

[Night Fox]

this stuff is expensive, yo; "mushroom hunters in Nepal can earn 900 dollars for an ounce of cordyceps"
it's used in an immunosupressive drug called ciclosporin, used for organ transplants sometimes

it's not terrifying anyway
it reminds me of Carnage
even the color scheme

they are pretty small sometimes, but it's still noticeable

sometimes they're not all that small though

I imagine that's a little different species than what grows on bugs though

This is being trafficked heavily in Tibet, if I remember correctly.
