The trailer for season 2 of The Last of Us appears to show the “zombie fungus” cordyceps infecting humans by releasing airborne spores.

Researchers said that many fungal diseases that infect humans, such as Cryptococcus neoformans, are spread by inhaling spores.

Dr. Jim Kronstad , a microbiologist at UBC’s Michael Smith Laboratories , said that the introduction of spores apparently infects humans in season 2 is accurate.
