ndreds of meters around. Sounds scary. Especially if you imagine how a manipulative mushroom suddenly mutates and begins to infect people, growing through their bodies. However, fortunately for us, this is just an excellent plot for video games and horror films. We are too big, our nervous system is too complex and our body temperature is too high. Yes, it cannot penetrate us - at first glance, such soft and vulnerable human skin is impervious to the degrading enzymes of the fungus. So the mushroom zombie apocalypse is cancelled, hooray! In fact, we were even able to benefit from cordyceps. Since 2023, certain types of them have been used to suppress outbreaks of pests. Fungal spores are simply sprayed over the captured territory and after a few weeks the vast majority of insects die. And most importantly, no damage to the biosphere. After all, each type of cordyceps specializes in only 5-6 species of closely related insects. Unlike insecticides, which destroy all living things.
