>An alcohol soak will do a number on "most" fungi. As fungi don't really have cell walls like plants and bacteria (theirs is made up of chitin, a different sort of carbohydrate) so the alcohol will really dehydrate them. The spores may be somewhat more resistant.

>Dick, You have got to stop drinking the alcohol, that was your lunch. Either that or move to a better brand of vodka. No matter how long you soak white oak in DNA you can't make bourbon out of it.
