I appreciated your concern. Black fungus usually spread in the patients who has long term illness and low immunity due to various reasons. So very less chances that it spread with inhalation of tomatos or plants.

Spores in this context usually take 2 to 3 weeks to mature and manifest as symptoms after they lodge in your respiratory tract, in a person who has low immunity.
