What happens if this fungi comes in contact with humans full of microplastics?

Then you get a cleansing and then you go to the er and call yourself a dumbass and then hope to god the intravenous antifungal work.

No, honestly I don't know but you can buy a syringe of liquid culture that contains a strain of a plastic eating mushroom and the warning on the site is to not store it in a plastic fridge. You could find the plastic pile and then toss a jar of that culture on it and then toss your boat because it's probably been hit with the liquid culture.
