Quoted from the profile:

"If a human male breathes in a spore, it will sprout and grow. Once it becomes a large mushroom, the thoughts of the male will be seized by it."

In other words, mushrooms ARE GROWING IN HIM. Specifically, they'd have to have some sort of link to his central nervous system. In order to effect the control they're stated to have, that means plugging directly into the brain.

In other, other words? It's as good as having a mushroom eat your brain, because while the brain may not be literally, physically destroyed? It's been heavily modified by an encroaching fungus that's shoving its base into the brain, and releasing all kinds of mind-fucking chemicals. And just in making room for itself, if actually is likely there's at least a little physical damage done. Brain matter ain't something you can just shove around willy-nilly.
