: '''The Discovery of Malaria (1880)''' → The moment we realized that a single-celled "Animal" (Protozoa) in the blood was the cause of the world's most deadly disease.
: '''Alexander Fleming and the Penicillium Mold''' → While we use it to kill bacteria, Penicillin is actually a "Weapon" that a fungus uses to protect its food from bacterial "Thieves."
: '''The Potato Famine (1845)''' → A "Water Mold" (parasite) that destroyed the food of an entire country, killing 1 million people and forcing 1 million more to migrate to the US.
: '''Humongous Fungus''' → A single fungus in Oregon that covers 2,000 acres and is 2,400 years old—making it one of the "Largest and Oldest organisms on Earth."
