Affected by or covered with fungus; infected with fungal growth.
Past participle or adjective form derived from the verb 'fungus' (to affect with fungus) or directly from fungous + -ed. This form is primarily encountered in botanical and medical contexts dating back several centuries.
While 'fungused' sounds archaic and technical, it perfectly describes that moment when bread or cheese gets that fuzzy coating—yet we rarely use the word, preferring 'moldy' instead, which is much more Anglo-Saxon in origin.
