> Everyone! I have to write a creative story for my biology class. It has to be about something taking over the planet and the world ending because of it. It needs to include kingdoms Fungi, Protista (one celled organisms, you can make them as big as you want too! yippee!) and Monera (bacterial and viral diseases accepted).
> I just need ideas. and silly little things to put in too. My teacher said creative, so im going to take advantage of that! Ive gotten ideas like toxic gingerale, smurfs with mushroom tanks, etc. So ANYTHING goes. Atheletes foot, bubonic plague, ANYTHING. I hope my cries for help reach someone!

First you take a concept from Jurassic Park, DAN frozen in Amber. In this case a prehistoric bacteria, is cloned. Unforuntaly this bacteria had been infect by a prehistoric virus, altering its DNA (since that is what a virus does). Also the process of cloning the bacterial has an error, the DNA is altered even more. Soon after being cloned the new bacteria (with the altered virus) dies, and as it dies it relieses the virus into the air. The virus no longer behaves like a normal virus, it mutates at a extreamly high rate. When it infects modern bactria it reproduces, but when it infects humans or animals, it rewrites there DNA at random. Killing many it also turns some people and animals into mutant freaks. There are a few scientist who discover they are immune, and discover it is beacuse of their work on a rare kind of mushroom. The have inhaled the mushroom spores, which have no ill effects on humans but ressists the virus, no mater how often the virus mutates. The scientist rig up a lot of bombs with a gas derived from the mushroom spores and blanket the earth killing the virus. Unfortunatly civilitation has almost compleatly broken down. Humanity is now an endangered species. There are thousands of new and danregous species of animals on earth.

Well, I like the idea anyway.
