It seems like a whole lot of things would have to come
together for this
to even work. I can imagine the aluminum layer wearing off of CD-R/CD-RW
media because it sits in a layer right on the top of the plastic disk.
With pressed commercial CDs, I think the metalic layer is actually
sandwiched between two pieces of plastic. In that situation, it'd be a
lot more difficult to believe that clear patches are showing up.
What if the fungus was present at manufacture, is eating the
plastic or adhiesive and producing a corrosive? That doesn't
stretch too far, most bio-waste is mildly corrosive, and that aluminum
is probably pretty thin.
