Why a whiskey fungus is forcing Jack Daniel's to halt a building project
A building project by whiskey maker Jack Daniels is to be stopped in Tennessee, after a local resident said she was facing a plague of whiskey fungus caused by escaping alcohol vapours.
Christi Long, of Lincoln County, Tennessee, claimed her property was coated in the fungus, which appears as a black crust on surfaces. It is a growing issue for people in the area, her lawyer told Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ News.
Many residents have posted pictures online that appear to show the black fungus coating surfaces throguout the town. But it's not just a problem in Tennessee. The fungus, which consumes ethanol fumes, is known to grow on surfaces near bakeries and distilleries around the world.
The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ's Max Matza explain why Christi Long is suing Jack Daniels.
