RE: 🍄 🐸 A Mushroom Sprouting on a Frog 🍄🐸

This really gives me the willies, the though that there are fungi out there that can invade living organisms and I don't just mean the athletes foot variety.

I see cordyceps sold as a super food, the thought of them sends shivers down my spine, irrational in this case I know, but I have a healthy respect for creatures that make their living by overcoming the defences of another.

A sobering thought is that every single parasite in existence comes from an unbroken line of ancestors that have successfully acquired a host, and then there is me, who may have never encountered them before....I know who I'd give the better odds to.
