Some interesting excerpts from ScienceAlert article:
"A fungal pandemic is definitely possible," Norman Van Rhijn, a mycologist researching fungal infections at the University of Manchester, told Insider in an email.
Some deadly fungi, like Candida auris, which emerged in 2009, have even developed a powerful resistance to the antifungal drugs we do have. In hospital outbreaks, Candida auris has killed anywhere from 29 percent to 53 percent of its victims, according to the World Health Organization.
