Step 1: make everything from plastics

Step 2: create plastic eating fungus to get rid of the trash

Step 3: create serious damage to all parts of our society and technology, as plastic eating fungus spores get everywhere, including our food chain and your brain.

you eat fungus spores every single day nonstop. They are everywhere. Just cause this one eats plastic why would the spores be dangerous? (also it probably only eats one type so like 5% of plastic)

Theoretically if they don't produce toxins as a byproduct of plastic metabolism, eating the plastics out of our brains could (in an idealized and highly unlikely case) be a good thing. If they don't also eat organic matter they'll starve out when the plastics are gone and our immune system could clean out the debris left behind
