Delve into the fascinating world of Cordyceps with Melvin Xu, a mycologist researching Cordyceps at Melbourne University. Cordyceps are known for turning insects into zombies. But they also play an important role in the ecosystem and have a mysterious life-cycle often living as plant endophytes. They have also been used by humans in traditional medicine and as bio-control. Learn about their life-cycles, role in the environment, human uses and threats to their ecology.
