In this video, we looked for the zombie mushroom, or cordyceps militaris, which we all know well thanks to The Last of Us. We actually found a type of cordyceps mushroom during our search in the forests of Istanbul. The zombie fungus we found infects pine processionary caterpillars and turns them into zombies. The samples we found infected the caterpillars' pupae underground. In this video I also did some tests to see how dangerous a swordfish's sword could be. I also conducted an interesting experiment to see how mussels filter contaminants from water. I hope you will like it.
