Pretty sure > Why not? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_mass https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_mass Technically I guess I can't prove it wouldn't work if you make it dense/hot/covered-in-reflectors enough, but I'm pretty sure it's _well_ beyond the limits of what a fungus could even conceivably do. Note that the only numbers on that page have various critical masses in kg. That's a bigass fungus. And that's still not getting into: the "fuel" here is real shit. It's gotta be beyond its useful life even if you ignore that the thing melted down and corroded and blew up.
