A fungal infection turning the entire human race into mushroom headed zombies...of course the guys from Viral Load are all in.  On this episode Brett and Andy take a look at the fungal series that is causing an HBO Pandemic.  Could Cordyceps really mutate and take over the human race? Are there any examples of fungal infections causing epidemics or pandemics throughout history? Did David Attenborough show us our future through zombified ants while lulling us into submission with his sweet soothing voice? And just how afraid of the fungus among us should we be?
