This parasitic fungus evolved from F. primus into a skin-based, highly infective parasite of amphibians, although currently limited to C. pyrrohosynopsym in zone 23. When first transmitted to a host, the zoospores of the fungus attach themselves to the keratinous skin layers via microtubule roots, and begin to form sporangia within the skin. Within the sporangia, more and more zoospores are produced during mitosis. Nutrients is absorbed directly from the host’s body, causing anorexia initially and eventually starvation as the fungus permeates the host. After reaching a critical mass of roughly 10,000 zoospores, the host’s vital functions begin to fail, and the zoospores are released from the sporangia into the water and air as it dies.
