One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One misty spring afternoon while walking along a small river through a young deciduous forest in Lancashire N. England I decided to break off the path and venture down to the water. After sitting on a tree trunk overhanging a deep pool I scrambled up the river bank and disturbed a stone. I examined the stone in hand and discovered a pea sized beige fuzzy on the underside. Upon closer examination I discovered that this fuzzy was a small spider covered in fungal growth. This little spider was infected and had died from a parasitic cordyceps mushroom. Somehow a spore from this cordyceps found its way through the forest to land on the spider, infect its brain, and lead it to the underside of this rock where it clung on with a death grip while the mushroom ate its insides and popped out its head.
