    I would more think of the fungus from The Last Of Us. This fungus really exists (maybe not to this scale pictured) and it controls ants after infecting them. It directly controls their muscles, while growing a fruit body out of the ant’s head.

    The fungus senses light and humidity. Therefor it climbs plants up and down. The ant is just a vehicle, like a robot body.

      Damn. Why didn’t you say that sooner. Now I understand how it works! Thank you.

      Or that fungus that makes the snails look like they’ve simultaneously become interested in the rave scene and inflation.
