Meh, as much as I agree with the idea to avoid helping invasive species spread, it's not like they need human intervention. Apparently even monkeys have managed to raft across the ocean[0], and considering how much more resilient the fungus is according to the article, ilI suppose spores could probably even catch a ride on a bird?

- bmitc 3y agoThanks. I wonder if any of those birds share habitats with bats on the East coast of North America or where the fungus is located in Europe or are suspected of being connected with carrying the fungus.
