Ophiocordyceps genus of fungi within the family Ophiocordycipitaceae .[2] mycologist Tom Petch in 1931,[3] [4] Anamorphic genera that correspond with Ophiocordyceps species are Hirsutella Hymenostilbe Isaria Paraisaria Syngliocladium [5]
One species complex , Ophiocordyceps unilateralis parasitism on ants , in which it alters the behavior of the ants in such a way as to propagate itself more effectively, killing the ant and then growing its fruiting bodies from the ant's head and releasing its spores .[6] [7] [8] [9] [9] [10] [11]
A 48-million-year-old fossil of an ant in the death-grip of Ophiocordyceps unilateralis was discovered in Germany.[12]
Sources and uses [ edit ]
Ophiocordyceps sinensis Tibetan ghost moths , and is used extensively in traditional Chinese medicine .[13] [14] [15] scientific evidence that use of this species has any clinically detectable effect on human diseases.[14]

Simply referred to as "cordyceps", an unspecified species is the cause of a worldwide pandemic and the zombie-like "infected" in the 2013 video game The Last of Us television adaptation .
In the 2014 novel The Girl with All the Gifts film adaptation , a mutation of Ophiocordyceps unilateralis
In the 2022 comic-book series Poison Ivy G. Willow Wilson , the titular character makes use of a fictitious species belonging to this genus.
The Pokémon Paras and Parasect are based on insects parasitized by Ophiocordyceps .
