Fungal pandemic and infected creatures

The fungal infection mechanism differs from traditional zombies, grounding the apocalypse in realistic biology while maintaining the horror of transformation. The pandemic becomes the vehicle for exploring human relationships, moral compromises, and what remains worth protecting in a collapsed civilization.
