Also, fungi are the world champions of biological warfare. They're where we got the idea of antibiotics from in the first place. Mycotoxins are nasty business too. This is not a battle we're going to win by brute force.

And which we might not win by smarts either. Several billion years of evolution can trump some experts trying to come with a clever solution in a short time. Same way we haven't eradicated the common flu, cancer and tons of other things that still get billions in research every year either after a century of trying... A "spanish flu" like situation can lead to hundreds of millions dead in this much more interconnected era (cheap flights etc) compared to 1910s...
