fungicidal
Destroys fungal growth
Fungicidal means capable of killing fungi.
The term describes chemicals, treatments, or agents that destroy fungal organisms rather than merely inhibiting their growth: fungicidal sprays for crop protection, a fungicidal compound effective against mold.
Compare with fungistatic, which only stops fungi from spreading without killing them.
