RE: Plant Fungus Infects Human in First Reported Case of Its Kind
Thanks for the link. That was really bizarre! We had an article on the topic from @sarahjay1 in Popular STEM, too. India: First reported case of human infected with a fungal plant parasite
I just heard about an episode of Grey's Anatomy where somebody had "a tree growing inside their lungs". Apparently, it was based on something real.
Similar to this, but that was an actual tree apparently. From the brief summary I read, it was a 2-inch growth in a man's lung in Russia that was first thought to be a tumor.
Organisms are weird.
