I was thinking the same thing. Getting a colony of this stuff established in the voids and nether regions of say a wide body jet would not be a very good thing at all.


I imagine that jets are inspected often enough for something like this to be caught. I imagine that a bigger problem would be an infection getting loose in a manufacturing factory. How much of my laptop is edible?


This fungus would still need water, so all they have to do is keep the jet dry, which they do anyway.
