A global pandemic.

Alien body snatchers.

Dehydration.

A mind-controlling fungus.

HBO premiered its big-budget version of gaming sensation “The Last of Us” on Jan. 15, 2023. The series’ creators, Craig Mazin (“Chernobyl”) and Neil Druckmann (a creator of the video game) incorporated a scene before the opening credits in which a scientist explains that a mind-controlling fungus could thrive on a warming planet.

Is there a zombifying fungus?

When the zombie-ant fungus, AKA Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, infects a carpenter ant, it grows through the insect, hijacking its mind, and forcing it to lock its mandibles around a leaf forever. It takes about a week for the ant to leave the safety of its nest and climb a nearby plant stem. When the ant climbs a leaf that overhangs its colony, fungal spores fall onto its sisters below and infect them.
