@sporeprints acctually yes they are eating or getting btten by and infected insect can be transfered to adifferent host, by here is my theois what if an animal had rabies but also had this fungus this is a combination of a real zombie virus
@TheBlackbeltjason rabies by itself might as well be a zombie virus. it causes you to go crazy and possibly attack others. A real zombie virus would be something like rabies combined with the flu so that it would become air-born or some other faster acting illness that would cause the rabies to be faster acting...
@TheBlackbeltjason That's not possible rabies is a bacteria and the cordyceps would be fungal. They are genetically incompatible, you have more to fear from what scientists do intently. There are labs where scientists actually work on diseases for biological warfare, the isolated flu vaccine is an example of how they're trying to manufacture virus's and bacteria. But there's also a black market for such things as well.
@sporeprints unless the deadly fungus evolves to harm humans, there are different types of Cordyceps for each species. PS The Last Ones brought me here :))
Every species is different and edibility/medicinal properties vary. Cyclosporin was isolated from another Cordy, which turns OFF the immune system, a word of caution when trying new species. Be sure of your identification and research your particular species before consuming! - TC
breathe the spores

are humans in danger of this!

@Alecridge They are not. These fungi are specific to the insects.

can these other cordyceps be taken as an herb, or are they totally different from the tibetan & chinese strains that grow on caterpillars?

@JackHighlander this one is entirely different from the caterpillar rice.

Clemson and Harvard entomology have received copies of this DNA. Carpenter ant is a queen. Fungus is proably Desmidiospora....not rice!

camera go in closer.
Coulda been a grain of rice for all we knew.
