deinonychus commented on the word mummyberry
"Another fungus, called 'mummyberry,' infects blueberry plants and turns their fruits into pale, shriveled carcasses. But it doesn’t stop there. Infected shoots of the plant grow grayish spots at their tips that reflect UV light, smell like flowers, and leak sugary liquid. Pollinators that are attracted to these 'pseudoflowers' will pick up more infectious spores on their bodies." http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/inkfish/2014/02/25/the-5-creepiest-ways-plant-diseases-mutate-flowers/

Yes, ruzuzu there should be a list! Surely there must be some vampires that should fit in too...

Yay! I'll have that in mind when the zombies appear. Hopefully not actual zombies.
