Comment on We sure do like our Fungi

Depends on the type of fungus, fungal infections from birds, bars, and the ground are quite serious infections, and often require toxic anti fungal to kill it. If you heard amphotericin B, it’s used to treat lethal fungal infections, but it’s a toxic agent

yeah that’s true at mammals already being quite small at the time of the extinction event, and so already having an upperhand from a scale aspect.
oh wow I did not know that bats had an unclear origin! I just read up a bit and it sounds like the Onychonycteris and Icaronycteris fossils suggest some kind of tree-hanging mammal, but records are spotty.
