Description
Just read the title of the National Geographic YouTube Video about zombie parasites and mind control, and your students are sure to be hooked! Join the National Geographic team as they explore a unique type of fungi that doesn’t feed on the dead like your normal mushroom. Instead, it attaches to live hosts and changes the way they function! Students of all ages will be intrigued by the strange and compelling cordyceps, a little fungus with a big impact.
