That was the day the world changed…the day the Rugosomyces carneus took over and destroyed 65% of the human population. These horrible fungi started out as a few simple caps until the day they started sprouting in turnips all around the world. No turnip was safe from the wrath of the Rugosomyces carmeus which was growing at a never before seen rapid pace. The first person to become infected was the mayor of Turnipville, Mayor Montgomery. He started his day off very nicely with a bowl of milk and diced turnips when the cursed fungi appeared in his breakfast bowl. He was enjoying his meal when he tasted a slimey tart potato with a hint of lime interrupting his morning. He spit the bite back into the bowl and discovered the ‘shrooms. He simultaneously noticed a red spot on the back of his hands and gently rubbed at them. His skin peeled back like butter to the roughness of his uncut nails revealing smooth and spotted pink sin underneath. His thinning hair fell out and was replaced with mushroom caps. He tried getting to the phone but he never made it there in time. He was turned into a giant cluster of Rugosomyces carmeus before he even made it past the kitchen doorway.
Many others in the town of Turnipville tried escaping the mushrooms but their fate was sealed anytime they ate. Nothing was spared from the wrath of the pink mushrooms known as the Rugosomyces carmeus. Families were all quickly turned into mushroom clusters by the second and no one escaped. The escalating progression and transmission of the ‘shrooms eventually spread past town and state lines. After it had claimed over half of America, it progressed through multiple countries and continents until the horrible plant took over the entire world including marine life.
