The disease results from direct entry of the fungus through broken skin such as an insect bite or trauma, or eating contaminated food. [1] [3] It generally affects people who are well. [2] Diagnosis is by medical imaging, biopsy, microscopy, culture and histopathology. [2] Treatment usually involves amphotericin B and surgery. [3] [4]
According to the National Library of Medicine, Cordyceps is a composite of a fungus that grows on the larva of insects, basically taking over their bodies. But it can't jump to humans .
The adult aliens resemble deformed potato beings with legs, while the younger aliens—nicknamed "shit-weasels" because they can be created in a host organism's stomach and escape by eating their host's body between the stomach and anus– are legless, smaller versions of the adult alien. Both adult and young aliens have a mouth consisting of a ...

A coprophilous fungus (dung-loving fungus) [1] is a type of saprobic fungus that grows on animal dung. The hardy spores of coprophilous species are unwittingly consumed by herbivores from vegetation, and are excreted along with the plant matter. The fungi then flourish in the faeces, before releasing their spores to the surrounding area.
The fungus has long been recognised to have antibacterial properties: the addition of the fungus to soup broth was known to prevent it from spoiling for several days. [69] One of the responsible antibiotics, albaflavenone, was isolated in 2011. It is a sesquiterpenoid that was already known from the soil bacterium Streptomyces albidoflavus. [69]
