Do you know what's the diameter of the spores? There's so much about reusing masks [0], but I read nowhere about the fungi concerns. Respirators can be breeding grounds for fungi when they get damp, and even though with N95 you can breathe them in, most probably, I'm sure they release toxic fumes. Fungi can "eat" pretty much anything - if they can live on stones and find "food" there, I'm sure there's enough "food" for them in the reused masks as well.
