People have been texting pictures of mushrooms and information about mushrooms to The Last of Us bosses Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin for a long time now. It has to stop. This story contains spoilers for The Last of Us.
In an interview attended by The Hollywood Reporter, Druckmann said his friends have been overwhelming him with information about mushrooms since the game came out in 2013. Craig Mazin, the showrunner and writer of the Last of Us HBO series, is getting inundated, too, and just wants it to end.
“Anywhere a mushroom pops up, I get someone texting me,” Mazin said. “People will text me pictures of mushrooms as they’re walking. I’m like, ‘I don’t care!’ Every powdered cordyceps product, I have been sent a link to.”
