Really? How concerned should I be, I just ate some cordyceps yesterday, what problem would that cause?

  It's a joke about the plot of The Last of Us, which pins the zombie outbreak on a fictional cordyceps variant that zombifies people (inspired by ones infecting ants or spiders).

    I know, I was also joking, and I mistakenly assumed that would be obvious because who would write, "oh no I just ate some cordyceps!!" but then I looked it up, and I guess you can in fact eat those, and people do, so the joke is on me.

      Cordiceps is sometimes used as a supplement as it is one of the few natural substances that increase the maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27408987/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27408987/
