Funguses like fusarium scare me. They lie in wait for us to die so they can breakdown our bodies for molecular scrap. They eat our food, our homes, even live inside of us. Some don't even have the decency to wait until death and start to dig in while we're still alive. It's been a cool, wet summer where I live an blight is already already starting to emerge in my tomato plants. My worst nightmares center around being consumed by mold.
