			The newly formed network of fungal material starts interacting with each other, recreating what has been described as synopsis. From then on, the roots grow in a centriphugal motion out of the encephallus, consuming the remaining nerves of the body to near perfect imitation before total decay of these, and filling in the rest necessary places of nerve placement.

The brain and spine are, by the time the hypha reach them, somewhat degenerated and in early states of decomposition. Begins the second period of extraordinary growth, where the fungus "races" to the encephallus.

			Upon arriving, the second phase of the second extraordinary growth period begins, as millions of hypha and fruiting bodies pop up in the cranial cavity. With the rapid growth and easy nutrients, electric impulses in the colony start to bear a striking resemblance to synopsys, starting the formation of memories. These pseudo-memories the fungus forms can bear themes and similarities in common with the hosts memories, however, some aspects are exaggerated and some seem to have no real connection to host memories.

			Eventually, after the hypha grow enough, they reach the central nervous system. So begins the colonization of the host.

	The host of the Fungus must be dead, although still warm. If the host is still alive, the fungus will not be able to grow and will eventually die from lack of nutrients due to the immune system. Research has show, however, that if the body continues too hot for too long, the fungus will boil, so ~~autoimmune~~ diseases, while theoretically a risk factor for infection, do not allow the full lyfecycle of the fungus. If decomposition is too advanced or the host is too cold, the spore won't be able to latch on to organical matter. This leads to all confirmed cases having stemmed from so called "ressurected corpses" or hosts who received the spore shortly before dying, "living hosts"		The host of the Fungus must be dead, although still warm.

			Spores of this fungus latch on to the mucous membranes. This will lead to an extraordinary growth of hyphae and fruiting bodies, completely covering and/or shutting down the opening to the membrane.
