give this thing a few years to grow larger and spread. Next thing you know it will be taking over larger hosts and the world will succumb to a true zombie apocalypse...
I learned about this in my mycology class, and what is possibly even cooler is that the ants usually recognize when a colony member has been infected and they drag him away from the colony as far as possible to avoid contamination. the ant then climbs a different shrub and the spores do not infect the colony.
