@magnumpicactus the sand is on top of really hot coal and is pretty much boiling. The dude is dragging the pot of coffee on it to boil it. Its a traditional turkish way to make turkish coffee and its really good.
Spores from the parasitic fungi called the cordyceps infects an insects brain and directs the insect upwards towards the forest canopy where it latches onto a plant to eventually die.
After growing for about 3 weeks within the dead insect, the cordyceps unleashes spores into the forest, infecting other insects within the immediate area. There are thousands of different types of cordyceps fungi and each specialise in just one type of insect species.
someone: i hate fungi!! im so glad that theres not a fungi-allied organism that’s fully mobile that crawls through the forest floor seeking detritus to absorb into its gelatinous body, actively dodging the light, able to navigate mazes in testing conditions
