Scientists have discovered a new species of fungus in Brazil that turns spiders into zombies. The fungus, called Purpureocillium, infects spiders and takes over their brains, forcing them to leave their burrows and climb to the tops of plants, where they die and release spores.
The discovery of this new fungus is a reminder of the amazing and often disturbing world of fungi. Fungi are capable of some truly amazing things, and they play an important role in our ecosystem.
However, they can also be deadly, and this new fungus is a good example of that. In this video, we will take a closer look at the new fungus and learn more about its amazing abilities.
