    Summary

    It seemed silly to be afraid of a little mushroom, but when that mushroom was a genetically modified war experiment that was currently running rampant in her home, and it was known for taking control of the host and literally devouring the brain of the host, plus reanimating the dead… yeah, it was understandable that most people were afraid of a fungus

    The fungus consumed everything, always looking for a new host, always needing more nutrition. Everyone was infected with spores from the fungus, it was impossible to avoid that, but the spores themselves were weak and unable to do much.

    The real problem came when the spores were able to take control and start growing. That only happened when their host dies, or when the host got a sudden energy boost, generally from evolution.

    Those consumed and controlled by the fungus are at least noticeably different, with mushroom caps growing all of their decaying bodies. Truly a horrific sight, especially when they’re in groups, and accompanied by the stench of decay.
