  Fun fact, global climate change is actually changing the temperature ranges that many fungus can exist in. Last of Us probably won’t come to pass because the cordyceps fungus evolved to zombify ants over millions of years, and we haven’t had any kind of constant contact with a similar fungus strain, so the chances of it being able to interact with our physiology is really, really remote.

  But we can absolutely get really harsh strains of Valley Fever in areas where the infectious fungus doesn’t usually exist, and fungal infections are incredibly hard to treat.
