Both as a question borne of legitimate ignorance of the subject as well as a little research for a project o' mine, I gotsa question-slash-hypothetical for the smarties to help me out with. How hard is it to kill a fungus, exactly? I mean, of course it's basically easy to kill just about anything with a lot of deadly things in our arsenal, but is there a chance that a fungus could adapt and become a superbug like many bacteria do to our medicines? Can fungus propogate and/or spread fast enough to avoid many of our outright deadliest things like fire, anti fungal chemicals and the like? Would it be implausible if one did? Or is the life cycle of such organisms too slow and simple to even imagine becoming so irritatingly hard to kill?

There are antifungal chemicals. Cyclohexamide fucks with protein biosynthesis, which is why it was widely used in agriculture, but is now being scaled back (except in research labs) because it can also affect humans, causing birth defects (and killing sperm).
