- Something is growing inside that fruit fly in your kitchen. At dusk, the fly points its wings straight up and dies in a gruesome pose so that a fungus can ooze out and fire hundreds of reproductive spores.

03:36 Can We Harness This Fungus For Our Benefit?
Some of the scariest monsters are the ones that grow inside another being and take over its body. Think of the movie Alien, where the reptile-like space creature explodes out of its victim’s chest.
That monster might be fictional, but scientists are studying a fungus that’s horrifyingly real - at least for the flies it invades, turns into a zombie-like state and kills in order to reproduce.
“Oh, it’s a nightmare for the flies,” said entomologist Brad Mullens, who studied the fungus at the University of California, Riverside.
The fungus is known by its scientific name, Entomophthora muscae, which means “fly destroyer.” It lives off houseflies and fruit flies, among others.
“It’s a crazy system,” said Carolyn Elya, a biologist at Harvard. “The fungus only kills at dusk.”
Like a killer puppeteer, the fungus follows a precise clock.
At dusk on the fourth or fifth day after it picks up a fungal spore, an infected fruit fly stops flying. It starts behaving erratically, for example climbing up and down toothpicks that Elya puts into the vials where she keeps the infected insects.
Then the fly climbs to the top of the toothpick, a behavior Elya and other scientists refer to as “summiting.”
In an unusual twist, the fly then extends its mouthpart down, and some liquid drips out and glues the fly to the surface it’s standing on. Over the next 10 minutes, the fly’s wings ascend until they’re pointing upwards and it dies frozen in this lifelike pose.
Soon after, white spongy fungus oozes out of its abdomen. This white goo is made up of hundreds of lollipop-shaped protrusions which each launch a microscopic bell-shaped spore at high speed. Now the spores just need to get into another fly to grow.
--- Could this or a similar fungus “zombify” humans?
“No, it's very unlikely,” Elya said. “We can control our bodily temperature to kill invaders.”

We had a HUGE boom of this in our backyard last year and I had no idea what it was and had to google it. Great video.

I hope you’re not related to a fly.
I suggest you to nuke your backyard..

@@reva6331 I'm appreciative of your informative addition - Thanks💗
This is literally the storyline for the last of us
Scary! 😮
Did you think they'd made it up from whole cloth?
And drugs
It's scary how similar this is to the cordyceps fungus yet it's a different organism. Fungi are masters of zombie-like mind control.
it's very scary that many species besides fungus are capable of "mind control", even some bacteria like toxoplasma and some worms like the green-banded specialising in snails !!

"Scientists have tried to harness it's power to our benefit" has to be the scariest sentence in this video. Do they not realize that's ALWAYS HOW IT STARTS IN THE MOVIES?!
It's actually really cool the way entomopathogenic fungi are being used. Batkoa major, a very similar fungus that infects spotted lantern flies, is being considered as a natural solution to their harmful impacts as an invasive species. Other fungi are used as natural insecticides in agriculture to reduce the use of toxic artificial ones!
Ah yes, "Other fungi are used as natural insecticides in agriculture". The last of us fungal horror brought to reality as our needed solution.
"The fungus can't hurt humans"
Evolution: May I introduce myself
Vonilla I’m very curious if a fungus that controls the brains if insects could control other brains as well. I remember reading somewhere that members of Bilateria share similar chemicals in their nervous systems. I’d imagine they would have to develop resistance to the differing immune systems of the new host type to be able to attempt control, as well as trying to figure out how the new brain works
@@daniellewilson8527 insect brains are very different to humans and even if it evolved it will never be able to do that to Humans
