I’ve been diving into Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake, a mind-expanding exploration of fungi and their profound role in shaping life. One discovery I can’t stop thinking about is Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, a fungus that hijacks an insect’s body, puppeteering it to fulfill its reproductive cycle. It’s awe-inspiring — and a little chilling — how nature operates with such microscopic precision and intricacy.
