Well, it's the usual sensationalist reporting by the Daily Mail (you do
need to
take that paper with a fairly large helping of salt), but in
essence, yes it is
true. These two fungi appeared a few years ago (not
clear if they're imports or
two genuinely novel diseases, possibly as a
result of mutation, but either way,
they're nasty). The UK government
has announced extra money to combat them

They are reportable diseases (which means they
should be reported to
the Ministry for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries), but of
course, most
ordinary people probably wouldn't spot them.
