Time Lapse Of the Week: Fungi!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scPOQC_Lpgo&feature=player_embedded

An awesome clip from BBC Planet Earth shows time lapse footage of fungi growing in the tropics. The video clip ends with the cordyceps fungi which essentially kills its host, and grows out from the body in order to release spores and kill more insects. Amazing, beautiful, and really creepy!
