Lots of diseases were weaponized during the Cold War and WWII. Small Pox, The Plague, Ebola, Marburg, Anthrax, etc... are always brought up for diseases that could be used in war.
But I’ve never seen weaponized Fungus on a large scale outside of Science Fiction. Various Infections can be fatal and even have huge death rates with modern medicine. A large number of people still die from infections every year (albeit most in very poor areas).
Is it possible, without delving into ASB territory, for Fungus to be used as a weapon on a large scale for any culture, for a relative modern country to weaponized one, or for any Fungus with relatively natural changes to have a massive outbreak that can cause massive damage to a society by killing hundreds of thousands or more?
