Total of 5-8. Congratulations! You are Cordyceps ophioglossoides! You parasitize other members of your Kingdom. You have an anamorph which is like Verticullium. It is not very well known as it doesn't produce any life-saving chemical as far as we know. As for ability to be found, you are one of the Cordyceps species which are slightly easier to be found. In your morphology, you seem to be long, thin, and slightly curvy. Lastly, you would be like Yao Ming because he is so tall, and you are one of the taller fruiting bodies of your genus.
Total of 9-11. Hooray! You are Cordyceps subsessilis! You parasitize members of the Scarabaeidae family. Your anamorph is Tolypocladium inflatum which is a super hero because it produces life-saving chemicals used in organ transplantation. You are rarely found in nature and it is a big deal when you are. Unlike C. ophioglossoides you are very short and close to the ground, so posture doesn't really pertain to you. You pertain to Albert Einstein because of his fluffy hair and your puffy white fruiting body.
Total of 12-15. Yippee! You are Cordyceps paradoxa. You parasitize cicada nymphs, and if you have ever met a cicada, they are quite annoying. You do not have an anamorph, and you are not known to be easy to find, but perhaps that is just because you aren't a very sought after organism. In your morphology, there is a part of you where you are curved. Its no matter of being a hunchback, but a slight curving is present. You would be Jamie Lynn Spears because you aren't very well known.
