Fungus is not contagious – mycologist reassured fans of The Last of Us series

Paul Stamets, who is a renowned mycologist who studies different types of fungal bacteria, said that the Cordyceps virus from The Last of Us is not contagious to humans. Accordingly, this type of infection, which brought the film project to the end of civilization, is not really a threat to people.

Of course, this news has nothing to do with the quality of the series itself. On the contrary, Mr. Stamets praised the creators of the story for creating a fantastic setting that you can immerse yourself in. As for the fungus, on the contrary, it can act as a material to counteract various infections, so they should be perceived as friends, not enemies.

Recall that now the series The Last of Us is broadcast on HBO streaming. The project still has one season, but it has already become known about the extension of the show.
