Reply to comment by Meri_Stormhood in What do fungi excrete, if at all? How would a permanent hyphae affect the ground its living in? by Meri_Stormhood

After the bomb was dropped in Nagasaki and Hiroshima they were called The Pink Cities because they turned pink from the aspergillis. There are spores everywhere and extreme temp changes cause them to bloom. The extreme heat of the bombs shocked the spores open and within 2, weeks the cities turned pink. To destroy the ecosystem to the point where fungi could not thrive wold be to destroy the area to the point that NOTHING could live.

Oh yes, That is the plan. For a specific area. But thank you very much! You have given me inspiration and a fascinating story!
