This reminds me of the brain maggot patient that walked in the ER. After being cleaned up, they died the next morning. Apparently the symbiosis was healthy albeit disgusting.

Will be interesting if fungi end up slowing cancers and are actually fighting for the mycobiome.

From reading Snopes, they say that the patient was in an automobile accident and was taken to hospital. They were cleaned up but died 3 months later. No evidence of symbiosis that I can determine. I presume he got in the accident because of his deteriorating mental state.
