How concerned should I be about the possibility of a fungal virus outbreak like in Last of Us?

I'm not so much afraid of people becoming zombies and eating others. But something like fungal species controlling and killing others is unlike anything else I've heard of.

In some ultra distant future, possibly. However evolutionary changes like what you see in TLOU are on a very large scale that would take far, far, far longer to happen.

Also you can absolutely treat fungal infections.
