Abstract
The television series The Last of Us imagines a postapocalyptic world ravaged by a fungal pandemic caused by a Cordyceps species. We evaluate whether a fungal pandemic is possible (and reasons behind its current improbability). We further discuss the series' effect on public perception of fungi, fungal infections, and pandemic response. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
