Is it normal to be afraid of mold/moss/fungus?

I am terrified of mold, which is sort of normal as certain molds can be harmful. However, it extends to more than that. Any moss, lichen, or mushrooms I am terrified of. My cat rolled in moss outside and I couldn't bring myself to touch him for a few days after. Even those brown mushrooms people eat I have to wash my hands in isopropyl alcohol after touching. I have a phobia that they will grow on me.

    It's called mycophobia and it's fairly common.

    Moss is nice and some mushrooms look really cool.

    I have it whenever I don't know if a food has expired.
