"Extreme Mushroom Enthusiast Consumes Self-Cultivated Zombie Fungus"

A TikTok user, known as @Southernspore, grew cordyceps fungus on his own blood and skin and then proceeded to eat it. The user documented the process, showing the fungus growing on his own skin under a microscope. Despite the "disgusting yellow tinge," he found the taste strangely sweet and claimed he would eat it again. Cordyceps, a staple of Chinese medicine and popularized in the video game The Last of Us, has various health benefits, including potential cancer-fighting properties and the ability to boost energy and treat diabetes.
