As to the witchburnings- Well, i actually don't know anything about the mould/fungus/whatever. However, if anyone's read Carl Sagan's The demon haunted world: Science as a Candle in the Dark there's a lot of interesting stuff there...
Gotta go, but I'll put some of it up later...

What I like about these books is that all that's taken away. You don't have to be a Beleiver. You KNOW how things work. You're not expected to worship, because that's not what life is about. There is no sacrilige, because you have just as much claim on the universe as the Powers That Be do.
