The real-life Cordyceps does not infect us and is used in traditional medicine for its potential health benefits but could be the director and writer have other ideas LOL.

They are delicious, One of the best mushrooms I ever had. I remember going to the hills trying to find them with my grandma.

Call me weird but I might give these mushrooms a try if they are available and free. I wont be buying them because they are super expensive.

Most sf movies are actually base on science. They search for less know species with exotic view. Maybe add more efects in design and features and you got for example dangerous alien species.

What this mushroom can do to insects is scary but they are harmless to humans and eating them have health benefits.
