Fungus February just got a whole lot spookier, especially when the topic is parasitic zombie fungi! Learn about the sinister Cordyceps mushroom that infects insects using mind-controlling spores and turns them into the walking dead. And why is this the same mushroom people are using for an energizing coffee replacement?!
Learn how the zombification process works, if it really is a caffeine substitute, and if humans are at risk of being its next zombie victim. If you dare…!
Delicious Verve coffee beverages will be available during this program.
