no. it's literally not.

fungal infections always target people with compromised immune systems. one of the first indicators of late stage AIDs was fungal infections.

fungus does not effect healthy people apart from ringworm and other topical things.

But it's getting warmer

Which may make more of them able to survive in humans, as per the article, which I quoted?

Compounding the problem, research shows, is that rising temperatures appear to have expanded the geographical range of some deadly fungal pathogens, and possibly made them better adapted to human hosts.
