it's what the zombies in the last of us are based on, actually.
Cordyceps Sinensis, which is mostly seen in caterpillars in china and is currently being experimented with for use in fighting cancer. It's also been used medically for a long time in things such as muscle relaxants, minor relaxants for irritations such as coughs, and to fight some neurologic disorders. And yes I did just do a bit of research to get this. No former knowledge.
Y'know, if it was easier to get into and wasn't a VERY risky career choice, I'd try something related to mycology.
I know medicinal mycology is a thing (as you pointed out with the medical applications of Sinesis), and also very, very well paying... I'll have to look into things.
Still fully intending for meteorology, but I might consider that as well.
