      Editing … each species of cordyceps specializes in infecting just one animal species, so each time you see a different animal with cordyceps sprouting out, you're also seeing a whole different cordyceps! But that might be apparent on its own, due to the sprouts often looking entirely different.

      Editing … I dunno why this didn't occur to me earlier, but a kinda recent student showed that cordyceps might not affect the brain at all, it might just take over the skeleton. The animals it takes over could be fully conscious as their body is taken away from them.

      Editing … That'd imply a lot more intelligence than I think fungi would be capable of. If they take over the brain they can give the animal vague impulses like "do this thing", they'd have to directly puppeteer the animal to take over their skeleton and live as though they're that animal.

      Editing … Yeah the study showed that the cordyceps spread its tendrils throughout the skeleton, exactly like puppetry. Don't underestimate the intelligence of miniature life!
