Zombie fungi: One of the most fascinating phenomena in the Kingdom of Fungi. Zombie fungi were made famous by the HBO series "The Last of Us." This talk will introduce some of the basics about fungi and mushrooms, then dive into the world of Zombie Fungi, some of which live right here in Devon. It will also answer the question: Are they coming for us?
