Mushroom industry 'confident' that 'The Last of Us' won't impact fungi demand

Most industries welcome product placement on TV shows. But what if your product is mushrooms — and they're seen atop zombie heads, or threaded through their decomposing bodies, during the apocalypse? Not so appetizing.The mushroom industry is so far sanguine about "The Last of Us," the apocalyptic HBO series in which a fungus infects the world, turning people into mushroom zombies.in 2022, notes Mushroom Council spokesperson Eric Davis.

"So it’s no surprise to now see them on new television programs. We are confident that people will continue to load their plates with delicious, nutritious and fresh mushrooms — maybe even while they catch the latest episode.” The zombie heads in "The Last of Us" look a lot like "delicious" chicken of the woods mushrooms, and "you can never turn me off those," said Jennifer Knox, a poet in Iowa, who is curating a public art project about mushrooms called Mycyowa.

There just aren’t enough zombie movies out there.

Big Mushroom must be stopped.

Blame Jack Daniels.

They give people too much credit

Mushroom gravy is everything good in life.

We already have a bunch of violent zombies on the streets of America. If they took mushrooms might slow them down.

Only liberals would be afraid of this

All happening in society...howndonyou have time tonwaste on these stories.

depends, are they magic mushrooms…

I am pretty sure the mushrooms will be just fine!

These zombies must be high af

I think this fascination goes back far more than a century. Fungus has always been among us.

It’s basically Matango (1963).

Sorry. I used to love mushrooms 🍄 but the sight of one now. 🤢

I'd be more concerned about the industry that sells the very fungus that causes the outbreak, Cordyceps, as a supplement.

merlot reps on line 1
