Cordyceps

The Cordyceps (abbreviated as CBI) is a parasitic fungal infection that has devastated mankind. It was unleashed in the City of Sirens by CORPS, and eventually spread throughout Vienca and spread out through Southern Province through its humid and tropical environment.

Cordyceps, also known as "caterpillar fungus," is a parasitic fungus that grows on the larvae of certain types of caterpillars in the Himalayan region. The fungus infects the caterpillar, consuming it from the inside out and eventually sprouting from its head in a long stalk-like structure. Cordyceps has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine for its purported health benefits, including as an immune system booster and energy enhancer. In recent years, cordyceps supplements have gained popularity as a natural remedy for various health issues, although scientific research on its effectiveness is still limited.
Cordyceps is a genus of fungi that can infect insects, arachnids, and other arthropods. When a spore of Cordyceps comes into contact with the body of an insect, it germinates and penetrates the body through the exoskeleton. Once inside the host, the fungus grows and proliferates, feeding on the host's tissues and organs.
The fungus then produces chemicals that alter the behavior of the host, causing it to climb to a high place and attach itself to a surface before dying. The fungus then continues to grow and develop inside the host, eventually forming a fruiting body that emerges from the host's body to release spores, which can then infect other insects or arthropods.
The exact mechanism by which Cordyceps is able to control the behavior of the host is still not fully understood, but it is believed to involve the production of chemicals that interact with the host's nervous system.
